Our Promise to Our Customers

Our Promise

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.

01
Full ingredient transparency.

Every ingredient has a real name, a real function, and a real reason it's there. No "fragrance." No proprietary blends. No fine print.

02
No synthetic chemistry.

Plant-derived only. No synthetic surfactants, no artificial preservatives, no harsh solvents.

03
Made in small batches in New York.

Every bottle is hand-filled in New York City. Small batch means we control quality at every step.

04
Glass, always.

Essential oils degrade plastic. Cobalt glass is chemically inert, blocks UV, and is infinitely recyclable.

How We Source

Every ingredient
chosen deliberately.

Six ingredients. Each one chosen because it earns its place — nothing more.

01
Distilled Water
Pure base

Distilled removes all minerals and impurities — other water types leave residue on surfaces.

Sourced From — US
02
Witch Hazel
Hamamelis virginiana

With natural alcohol. Disperses essential oils evenly and adds mild astringent action.

Sourced From — US
03
Castile Soap
Plant-based surfactant

Pure plant oils, unscented. Lifts grease and dirt without leaving a chemical film.

Sourced From — US
04
Hinoki Cypress
Chamaecyparis obtusa

Used for centuries in Japanese temple architecture. Warm, woody, naturally aromatic.

Sourced From — Japan / Taiwan
05
Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia

True lavender, not lavandin. Calming and aromatic. Softens the hinoki and rounds the scent.

Sourced From — France / US
06
Cedarwood
Cedrus atlantica

The warm base note that anchors the blend. Quiet depth that makes the formula smell considered.

Sourced From — Morocco / US
Why it matters

Most cleaners are polluting your home while they clean it.

Conventional cleaners rely on synthetic solvents and fragrances that evaporate at room temperature and end up in the air you breathe. Most of it stays hidden — tucked into vague terms like "fragrance," never listed on the label.

Studies show indoor air can be 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air. Cleaning products are a major reason why.
