Meliora achieves total ingredient transparency, something almost no other cleaning brand can claim. Every ingredient is listed on every label. The B Corp certification verifies their commitment beyond marketing, and their in-house manufacturing in Chicago means they control the entire process. Kate Jakubas still runs the company with zero outside investors.
Meliora uses the shortest ingredient lists in the industry. Their laundry powder contains three ingredients. Their dish soap contains four. Every single component is disclosed on the label and cross-referenced with EWG and Made SAFE databases. No fragrances, no preservatives, no optical brighteners, no enzymes.
