Organic Chemistry & Botanical Emulsion
Interact with the formulation reactor below to explore how pure potassium oleate micelles dissolve polymerized cooking oils and surface grease without leaving synthetic petrochemical films.
Core
At a 1:30 studio dilution, potassium oleate micelles gently lift epidermal foot sebum and settled cooking particulates without stripping polyurethane finishes or leaving behind sticky, dirt-attracting surfactants.
Lipid Saponification vs. Petrochemical Residue
100% Water-Soluble Lipid Lift
Potassium oleate cleansers encapsulate organic cooking oils within water-soluble micelles. When wiped, the lipid molecules rinse away completely, leaving bare floor pores that evaporate dry in under two minutes with zero sticky build-up.
In the Weeds: Potassium Oleate Hydrolysis
Potassium Hydroxide Lipid Hydrolysis
Commercial floor cleansers rely on synthetic petroleum sulfates (SLS/SLES) that leave high-surface-tension residues. In Formulation No. 01, we hydrolyze pure non-GMO plant triglycerides with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to produce Potassium Oleate.
Potassium soaps dissolve significantly cleaner in aqueous solutions than hard sodium soaps, leaving a non-tacky, non-corrosive finish that preserves high-gloss marble and engineered white oak finishes.

Eucalyptus Globulus Terpene Volatility
Instead of masking household odors with synthetic phthalates, Formulation No. 01 incorporates cold-distilled Eucalyptus Globulus oil rich in 1,8-cineole.
This natural monoterpene physically dissolves airborne volatile sulfur compounds while exerting natural antimicrobial synergy against lipid-coated viruses, leaving your home with a subtle, crisp botanical stillness without triggering VOC monitors.

Hardwood Moisture-Equilibrium Protection
Synthetic all-purpose floor cleaners strip the natural oils from finished hardwood floors, causing micro-checking and premature polyurethane peeling over time.
Our potassium oleate emulsion maintains a gentle, neutral lipid balance that cleanses wood grain pores without stripping calibrated sealers or introducing excess water weight.
