❌Not recommended brand:
Blueland is all over on social media. It seems so attractive with their “eco -friendly” packaging and refills.
While it is a great method to reuse the refills in order to cut unnecessary use plastic containers, their ingredients could have been way better. Especially now that they have made so much money by selling their brands thanks to their clever marketing team.
MARKETING CLAIMS: I don’t approve products or brands that claim: “They’re formulated without harmful ingredients. “ or “ high quality natural ingredients” “conscious ingredients”
or claim on their home page:
“PLANET FRIENDLY HOME ESSENTIAL MADE TO REFILL.”
when they use pink, blue, yellow synthetic colorants when we know they are commonly petroleum derived. Do you call this couscous and high quality ingredients?
Plus I don’t support companies that mention that they are all natural when obviously uses synthetic ingredients, colorants and other controversial ingredients. Including fragrance where can hide more than 3000 undisclosed ingredients!
CERTIFICATIONS:
Not all their products are EWG certified, only their fragrance-free laundry and dishwasher tablets! And the list ingredients list on ewg is not complete or updated, did you notice that?
MADE SAFE only certifies of 1 of their products body wash, and not entirly, jus the base. That is not enough for me!
Did you check their safely data sheets?
12.1: Toxicity: This material has not been tested for environmental effects.
Let’s analyze their ingredients:
Conclusion:
It is up to us on deciding on what you want to bring at home. It is up to us to push to higher standards and to motivate brands on doing better, when they are still using synthetics ingredients when their are safer alternatives available. Or to tell them to not mislead us with their marketing claims.
I don’t approve Blueland for the simple reason they are selling their products to people making they think that is completely natural, selling as that is completely natural , and they are not: GREENWASHING.
They have al the resources and capital to sell better, safer and more eco friendly ingredients but that will cut their profits.
They have a great method of reducing plastic but that should not entitle them to greenwashing people by claiming that everything is safe and natural when they put fragrance and synthetics ingredients in their refills.
They should not abuse people trust by thinking they are abusing people trust by buying safe and natural pructs
Conclusion Blueland ingredients could be way better to match their mission! I won’t recommend then until that update their formula by eliminating the cheap and toxic ingredients mentioned above. They have all the resources for that! Beside Meliora they are so many other more natural and organic cleaning brands out there that won’t don’t use petroleum based ingredients, or synthetics fragrances, me and many in my community are chemicals sensitive so Blueland is very harmful to us!
Beside that I don’t recommend petroleum based ingredients or synthetic fragrance to anyone!

Blueland is approved or not approved? It was born as a brand that tries to reduce plastic in the environment. Their tablets are a great way to reduce plastic waste. However, if Blueland wanted to be truly plastic-fee, they should have offered a plastic alternative to their bottles.
Like Meliora cleaning, a truly plastic-free brand! All entirely made safe certified and made with safer ingredients. The issue here is Blueland ingredients: for my standard, they are not approved. They are made with a combination of naturally derived ingredients, mixed with synthetic preservatives, fragrance, and colorants!
❌They are made with a combination of naturally derived ingredients, mixed with synthetic preservatives, fragrance, and colorants! ❌Fragrance hides more that 3000 undisclosed ingredients! Harmful to us with chemical sensitivities and toxic to anyone! ❌Pink, yellow, blue synthetic colorants are commonly petroleum derived ingredients! ✅For safer alternatives, you can find better recommend brands with my promo codes: 👉laundry 👉all-purpose 👉dishwasher detergent 👉body-wash 👉Meliora
