A new Canadian company named Leaf & Mineral has entered the household cleaning product market with a range of products formulated primarily from plant-derived and mineral-based ingredients. The brand positions itself in direct contrast to both conventional cleaning brands and existing green cleaning alternatives by emphasizing a dual promise of competitive cleaning efficacy and a more accessible price point.
The Leaf & Mineral product range includes "Laundry Detergents, Laundry Powder Packs, Oxygen Whitening Solutions, Automatic Dishwasher Powder Packs, Rinse Aid, Liquid Dish Soap, and Fabric Softener Sheets." The company highlights third-party certifications for its biobased content, along with commitments to ingredient transparency, safety testing, and the exclusion of several chemical additives commonly found in mainstream products.
