Sustainability Claims

100% Natural Propellant

A propellant is simply a substance that propels something. Traditional air fresheners use a liquid hydrocarbon, but Febreze Air uses a natural gas propellant, Nitrogen.

Nitrogen makes up 78% of our air and doesn’t react with other things.  

Let's Break It Down

Sins Identified

No Proof

Lesser of Two Evils

No Proof

Lesser of Two Evils

Aside from SmartLabel, the product does not have any third-party certifications to back up its sustainability claims and relies only on what P&G's standards and what they choose to disclose on their website.

Despite the fact that some of the product claims are positive, such as "100% natural propellant" and "no phthalates," the brand still uses many other harmful ingredients:

  • Geraniol: Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organic system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritation

  • Limonene: Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator

Areas of Opportunity

1.   Third-party certifications for sustainability claims

2.   Disclose all product ingredients and provide full transparency on impact of each

3.   Communicate all 
environmental and health impacts of product according to
      third-party standards
