SC Johnson today announced that it is the first major consumer packaged goods (CPG) company to globally disclose fragrance ingredients down to .01% of the product formula across its portfolio of brands.
"SC Johnson firmly believes that consumers deserve to know what's in the products they use. We began disclosing fragrance ingredients by product in 2015, and have been disclosing hundreds of these ingredients down to .01% for more than a year," said Kelly M. Semrau, senior vice president – global corporate affairs, communication and sustainability. "Sharing more about product ingredients is good for families and important for the industry as a whole. We are pleased to see that our industry peers are following our lead and taking steps toward greater transparency."
SC Johnson began its industry-leading transparency journey by launching its WhatsInsideSCJohnson.com ingredient website – the first of its kind – in 2009. In 2012, it added a comprehensive list of fragrance ingredients used in its products. In 2015, SC Johnson added to its website product-specific fragrance disclosure. Consumers with questions can find on WhatsInsideSCJohnson.com the list of fragrances in individual SC Johnson products, across its categories. In 2016, the company expanded its disclosure program to Europe, and in 2017, to Asia. The program will be introduced in Latin America later this year.
In 2017, SC Johnson began disclosing, on a product-specific basis, the presence of 368 skin allergens that may occur in its products.
Earlier this year, SC Johnson unveiled the scientific criteria behind its Greenlist program, which guides how it selects ingredients to protect human health and the environment.
