Ingredients

We want you to have the information you need to determine if our products are right for you, your family and your home.  

We hired one of the leading green chemist's on the market and tasked her with creating the highest performing plant-based cleaning and home products on the market (no small task!).  We  thoroughly researched every ingredient and supplier of our formulas and didn't settle for anything less than the high standards we set at the beginning.  Read more about how L'AVANT defines natural with respect to our products.

We believe we’ve created beautiful products with the best green technology has to offer. Our commitment to continual research and education ensures that as better non-toxic ingredients come to market, we will incorporate them into our formulas.
