Active Ingredients
Soy Oil
Type: Food grade, organic, and non-GMO
What it Does: Soy oil coats pests, suffocating them on contact—a natural, plant-derived method that doesn’t allow bugs to develop resistance. This ensures sustainable pest control while being completely safe for your garden ecosystem when used as directed.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Type: Organic and food grade (never synthetic)
What it Does: Peppermint oil naturally repels pests with its fresh scent, deterring them from returning while promoting a clean, healthy garden. It’s a natural, aromatic alternative to synthetic repellents that also adds a refreshing boost to your plants.
Citric Acid
Type: Organic, plant-derived from Cassava root, food grade
What it Does: Citric acid adjusts the pH of plant surfaces, making them inhospitable for powdery mildew and fungal spores, while also serving as a natural preservative to stabilize the formula. It’s an effective, natural way to combat fungal issues and promote a balanced garden environment.
Inert Ingredients
Soap
Type: An eco certified proprietary blend derived from a sustainable plant source
What it Does: Soap lowers the surface tension of liquids, allowing the spray to spread evenly across leaves, stems, and pests. It also emulsifies the formula, ensuring that all the ingredients mix together for maximum effectiveness.
Isopropyl Alcohol
Type: Cosmetic grade (safe for skin)
What it Does: Isopropyl alcohol emulsifies the ingredients, improving the formula’s ability to adhere evenly to plant surfaces. It also assists in pest control by drying out pests on contact, all while enhancing the formula’s effectiveness without compromising plant health.
Sodium Citrate
Type: Food grade
What it Does: Sodium citrate acts as a preservative and pH buffer, ensuring the formula remains stable and effective over time. It also helps balance the pH of the plant’s surface.
Water
Type: Purified through reverse osmosis
What it Does: Purified through reverse osmosis, water serves for thinning the ingredients for easy application and ensuring even coverage. By removing contaminants, it safeguards plant health and maintains the effectiveness of the formula.
