Ingredients
Inspired by the Scandinavian nature we have selected a range of natural and caring ingredients for our cleaning -, laundry- and skincare products.
The ingredients in our products have been carefully chosen to avoid parabens, dyes, essential oils, chemical perfumes, endocrine disrupting substances or carcinogens. All products by Humdakin are vegan and not tested on animals.
Camilla is part of the development of new products from the very first idea to the finished products in close collaboration with our laboratory. What our products have in common is that we never compromise on product performance and want to make each formula unique.
5 important things we always focus on:
Allergy: Camilla is so focused on making cleaning products that make a difference with mild preservatives, no added color but with mild ingredients, to curb allergy issues and ferment the product as allergy friendly as possible.
Environment: we want to do our best both in the production of our cleaning products, with our packaging and with the performance of the products. That's why, among other things, we make them as concentrated as possible to save on packaging.
Fragrance: we do not use essential oils, as this is known to cause many allergies. Instead, we use a allergy-friendly perfume that does not contain the 26 fragrances known to cause allergies. The fragrance we use is very soft and mild, and long lasting. The scent is one of the best benefits of cleaning.
Efficiency: we want to make very high efficiency cleaners, because we clean for a reason: we want to remove dirt and kill bacteria. That's why our products are powerful but mild. This is priority for all products.
Design: the whole idea was to make the cleaning products so aesthetically pleasing that you can use them in your décor and don't need to hide them under your kitchen sink. You can to use them in your everyday life, cleaning can actually be both fun and beautiful with Humdakin.
