Our Promise to Our Customers
What we commit to,
every single batch.
SOHJI was built on a simple idea — that cleaning products should be honest. Here's what that means in practice.
Every ingredient has a real name, a real function, and a real reason it's there. No "fragrance." No proprietary blends. No fine print.
Plant-derived only. No synthetic surfactants, no artificial preservatives, no VOC-emitting solvents.
Every bottle is hand-filled in New York City. Small batch means we control quality at every step.
Essential oils degrade plastic. Cobalt glass is chemically inert, blocks UV, and is infinitely recyclable.
The philosophy
behind the name.
In Japanese culture, sōji (掃除) is practiced daily in schools, temples, and homes — not as an obligation, but as a meaningful act in itself.
When you approach cleaning intentionally — with a formula you can read and a scent you actually love — it stops being something you dread.
Every ingredient
chosen deliberately.
Six ingredients. Each one chosen because it earns its place — nothing more.
Not tap, not filtered. Distilled removes all minerals and impurities — other water types leave residue on surfaces.
With natural alcohol. Disperses essential oils evenly and adds mild astringent action.
Pure plant oils, unscented. Lifts grease and dirt without leaving a chemical film.
Used for centuries in Japanese temple architecture. Warm, woody, antimicrobial.
True lavender, not lavandin. Antimicrobial, calming. Softens the hinoki and rounds the scent.
The warm base note that anchors the blend. Quiet depth that makes the formula smell considered.
Most cleaners are polluting your home while they clean it.
VOCs — Volatile Organic Compounds — evaporate at room temperature and enter the air you breathe. Most conventional cleaning products contain them, hidden in synthetic fragrances and solvents.
Studies show indoor air can be 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air. Cleaning products are a major reason why.
