What Is Coco Glucoside? Coco glucoside is a human-safe surfactant and foaming agent sourced from coconuts, corn, or potatoes (ours is from coconuts). It’s used in various natural cleaning and personal care products, including Tabor & Olive Premium Laundry Detergent which is all natural consisting of only 4 safe and effective ingredients. So, what exactly is a surfactant? A surfactant is a natural or chemical substance that reduces the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread more uniformly.

Surfactants are used in nearly all cleaning and laundry products to help the cleaner spread out and get underneath dirt, grime, food particles, etc. Unfortunately,...
Why choose Tabor & Olive We eliminate highly hazardous ingredients that are ubiquitous in other fragrances, and we disclose more information about the materials in our own scented products. These unprecedented standards stretched the creativity of our third party perfumers and fragrance chemists who had never developed fragrances in this way. At the same time, we overhauled our testing processes, partnered with people with the skills, education, and experience to rise to this occasion, and developed brand new tools for evaluating fragrance oils. The first phase of this work was to reformulate our fragrances to be free of phthalates (cancer-causing ingredients that require a Proposition 65 warning in California) and similar ingredients NOT on the Prop 65 list. And in...

When we conducted a survey about room sprays and what our friends, family and strangers had to say, it wasn't surprising hearing: "They smell bad/weird" or "They don't last long enough" and ultimately, "They have questionable ingredients." Did you know over 4,000 ingredients are found in retail room sprays with over 100 different toxic chemicals? For an air freshener, there's absolutely nothing fresh about that. But we have a solution. We researched, tested, tried, tested some more, and are now proud to offer Natural, Organic, 100% Proven Non-Toxic and Vegan room sprays that are not only made without aerosol, parabens and phthalates, but also proudly do not contain carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, or acute toxins. Tabor & Olive...
The advice below is specifically for your Tabor & Olive candles. Every candle we offer is hand-poured, tested, tried, and true. We hope the tips below guide you into getting the most out of your luxury candle: Helping your candle burn to its potential is a delicate balance of leaving it alone and keeping an eye on it. •Because most surfaces aren’t perfectly even, we recommend rotating your candle 180 degrees every 45 minutes.
