FAQs
The chemical bias is real.
For far too long, it’s been believed that only synthetic, ethanol-based cleaners truly
work.
Our formulations break that mold.
Made with 100% nature-derived ingredients, they deliver a spotless clean —
without compromising your health or the environment.
Third-party lab-tested and verified to eliminate 99.99% of common germs and
microbes, they offer powerful performance without the harsh trade-offs.
- Parabens – Linked to hormonal disruption
- Sulphates (SLES, SLS) – Harsh on skin and waterways
- Hydrochloric Acid – Corrosive and toxic if inhaled
- Ethanol – Can trigger respiratory irritation and is highly flammable
- Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) – Emits toxic fumes and is not eco-safe
- Triclosan – Associated with antimicrobial resistance and endocrine disruption
- Phosphates – Harmful to aquatic life; cause algal blooms
- Artificial Colours & Fragrances – Linked to allergies and respiratory stress
- PEGs (Polyethylene Glycols) – Petrochemical-derived compounds that can
be contaminated with carcinogenic residues (like 1,4-dioxane) and are non
biodegradable - Butylene Glycol / Butylene Alcohol – Commonly used as solvents; can
cause skin and eye irritation and are derived from petroleum-based sources
These ingredients often sneak into “everyday” cleaning products — hidden behind
pleasant fragrances or glossy packaging.
We choose to leave them out, not because it’s easy, but because it’s right.
Regulations often assess ingredients in isolation. Real life doesn’t.
Daily use,
combined exposure, and long-term contact tell a different story.
That’s why we choose a more cautious path - formulating beyond minimum
compliance, with safety, longevity, and environmental impact in mind.
Yes, absolutely.
All our products are third-party lab-tested, non-irritating, and suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
Our products undergo rigorous testing for performance, safety, and formulation standards, including:
• Antimicrobial Efficacy Testing
• Toxic Solvent Screening
(Free from ethanol, methanol, and harsh solvents)
• Pesticide Residue Testing
• Heavy Metals Testing
(Including lead, arsenic, mercury, and other regulated metals)
• Biodegradability Testing
• Skin Safety Testing
• Cruelty-Free Certification
Because even rinse-off products can leave behind trace residues.
We test for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and solvents to ensure that what remains on surfaces - and in your home - stays within safe, responsible limits.
It’s how we take care of what’s invisible, not just what’s visible.
We believe sustainability is about making responsible choices at every stage, not chasing perfection.
Our formulations are made with 100% nature-derived ingredients, selected for their performance, safety, and biodegradability. Our packaging follows a pragmatic, evolving approach—balancing product stability, safety, cost, and the most responsible materials available.
Our ingredients have been verified by a third-party NABL-accredited laboratory to be 100% biodegradable, making them safer for the planet and aquatic life.
Additionally, our formulations are ultra-concentrated, reducing the need for frequent replacements and, in turn, lowering packaging use and associated carbon emissions.
We print our labels using vegetable-based inks as part of our ongoing effort to align our business practices with our sustainability and circularity goals.

The Ten Minutes That Reveal Everything
by Sanjana Rao
on Dec 12 2025
The Ten-Minute Test
I lock my doors and keep external threats out.But what about what’s already inside- invisible, perhaps, and quietly insidious?
Ask yourself these questions after you clean.
How do I feel after mopping the floors?
Does the fragrance linger in the air for a long time?
Do I associate a strong scent with freshness?
Do I get a headache after using the cleaner?
Do my eyes smart or my skin sting after cleaning?
Do I find myself holding my breath while cleaning the toilet with bleach or conventional cleaners?
Do I immediately open windows to let the strong smell or fragrance out?
Now move closer to the surfaces—and fabrics—you live with every day.
Do I rinse dishes repeatedly to wash off the dishwashing liquid?
Do my hands feel clean - or stripped?
Does my skin feel dry or irritated after washing dishes?
Do my clothes feel dull and limp after a wash?
Now think about the people (and pets) closest to the ground.
Would I feel comfortable letting my baby crawl on this floor?
How does my pet’s skin look—does it seem irritated or prone to allergies lately?
And once the surface dries, pause and notice.
Does it feel:
squeaky-clean?
sticky?
coated?
Finally, ask the question that matters most:
Is this something I’m comfortable using every single day, for years, in a closed indoor space?
Because safety isn’t always loud or obvious.Sometimes, it’s what we’ve learned to ignore.
And perhaps the simplest question of all:
Should clean be loud and performative—or quiet and reassuring?
From Concern to Creation: The Green Molecule Story

A Mother, a Pet Parent & a Hypochondriac Walk Into a Room…
The Green Molecule Origin Story
I have always been drawn to products that claimed to be natural. Something about them always interested me - until I sensed that something was missing. I wasn’t very label-savvy back then.
The fragrance, for one, was overpowering - chemical notes masquerading as freshness. Personally, scent is a deal breaker for me. It shapes your mood, your memories, your mental space. Research over the years has provided enough evidence to show that our olfactory sense is one of the most powerful - also the easiest way for substances to penetrate the blood–brain barrier and influence how we feel within seconds.
The devil, they say, is in the label. In home care and hygiene products, there is often very little disclosure. I realised that beyond a basic understanding of obvious dangers like bleach or hydrochloric acid, I had no real idea what I was storing in my cleaning cabinet - or what I was breathing in my home.
Some natural products were safe, no doubt - but they were so reductive that they disappointed me in performance. They simply didn’t clean the way real life demanded. Imported brands were always there - lurking on the shelf, glossy and tempting.
But I wanted something made here, for here - something that understood the Indian soul, the challenges of hard water, water scarcity, and the rhythm of everyday Indian living: walking barefoot, seeking blessings from elders, navigating puja-room challenges, and more.
And as a self-confessed hypochondriac, I needed to understand the bigger picture. As a mother to a 12-year-old son and a pet parent to eight dogs, I needed answers to the questions that were blowing in the wind back then:
If I mop my floors:* What lingers in the indoor air?* Will there be invisible residues clinging to surfaces?* How safe is it for bare feet - for crawling babies, curious pups, and wise elders?
Green Molecule was built to answer those questions - rooted in plants, anchored in safety, and powered by science.
Greenwashing: The Urban Legends We’re Done Believing
by Sanjana Rao
on Dec 12 2025
Greenwashing: Urban Legends We Hope to Deconstruct
Urban Legend #1: “Natural Is DIY”
Natural isn’t baking soda and vinegar whipped up in a kitchen.It’s an evolving science — complex, precise, and deeply researched.
Urban Legend #2: “Chemical-Free Cleaners”
Everything is a chemical — even water.There is no such thing as a truly “chemical-free” cleaner.
The real question is which chemicals, in what concentration, and with what long-term impact on human health and the environment.
Urban Legend #3: “Food-Based = Always Safe”
Food-grade is a starting point — not a safety guarantee.
Food-based colourants and preservatives can still cause irritation or allergies with repeated household exposure.
That’s why our products are tested for skin safety (allergy and inflammation) and biodegradability in the environment — not judged by labels alone.
Urban Legend #4: Ethoxylated Ingredients Are Always Mild
Ingredients such as SLS, SLES, and Ceteareth-20 are effective surfactants, but they are typically petroleum-derived and can be poorly biodegradable.Manufacturing processes may also leave trace by-products if not tightly controlled.
Effectiveness is real — so are the trade-offs.
Urban Legend #5: “Eco-Safe” Without Proof
Terms like eco-safe, green, or earth-friendly often lack certification or transparency.Without validation, they remain marketing language — not guarantees.
Urban Legend #6: Fragrance / Parfum
“Fragrance” often hides dozens of undisclosed chemicals masquerading as freshness.
At Green Molecule, scent is treated as a functional ingredient — chosen for low-VOC impact and designed to fade gently, not overwhelm.
Urban Legend #7: PEGs Are Natural
PEG stands for Polyethylene Glycol (and related glycols such as Propylene Glycol).Despite being paired with “plant-based” claims, PEGs are synthetic polymers, often petroleum-derived.
Urban Legend #8: Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates Aren’t the Whole Story
Parabens, sulfates, and phthalates are familiar targets — but they’re not the only ones that matter.
Many other ingredients remain hidden in plain sight, masked by technical names and vague claims.What we talk about most is often just the tip of the chemical iceberg.
Urban Legend #9: If Ingredient Lists Look Like Code, It’s Because They Are
Ingredient labels are written in letters and numbers — not plain language.They’re designed for standardisation, not storytelling.
That’s where greenwashing thrives.
Clarity shouldn’t be optional.
Where We Stand
At Green Molecule, we don’t chase labels - we question them.
Natural must be intentional, not performative.Safety must be baked in, not embellished later.
Plant-led. Science-backed. Safety-anchored.Natural, standardised, powerful — the way it should be.
We Believe
In the molecule that matters.
In the nature that nurtures.
In the science that cares.
In the trust that is precious.
In a world where every choice is meaningful, and every act, measurable.
