The Fragrant Heart of the Mountains

How we choose and use allergen-free natural fragrances in Alpeko products

At Laboratorio Alpeko – Verdealpeko.com, we believe that nature is the source of all well-being.
From the heart of the Alps, our natural detergents and cosmetics are created to bring the purity and freshness of the mountains directly into your home.

We’re proud to be among the most beloved brands in Europe, a success built on our constant commitment to excellence, sustainability, and product safety.

Today, we’d like to share one of our most treasured secrets: how we select and infuse our products with enchanting, allergen-free natural fragrances. It’s not magic — it’s a blend of cutting-edge science, deep ethics, and unconditional love for what we do.

A commitment beyond fragrance: our ecological and ethical philosophy

When you choose an Alpeko product, you’re not just choosing an eco-bio detergent or a safe and effective cosmetic.
You’re choosing a promise: that of a product that respects your health, the environment, and the highest standards.

Natural scent is a key part of the sensory experience, but we know that for many, it can also cause discomfort.
That’s why we’ve invested in the research and selection of purified fragrances that let us offer authentic scents — without compromise.

The journey of a safe natural fragrance: from selection to integration in Alpeko products

ntegrating an allergen-free natural fragrance into our products is a meticulous process that starts well before final formulation. Our goal is to ensure maximum consumer safety.

1. Rigorous selection of natural aromatic raw materials
   We begin by working with qualified suppliers who use pure essential oils and natural plant extracts, from lavender, lemon, rosemary, and other plants that evoke the intoxicating scents of our mountains.These natural wonders contain a complex blend of aromatic compounds that give them their unique character.
   However, it’s important to know that even natural fragrances can contain natural allergens like limonene, linalool, and citronellol — which, although plant-based, may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
2. In-depth analysis with Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
   This is where science plays a key role.
   We require and verify that our suppliers use advanced techniques like GC-MS, which allows for precise identification and quantification of all elements in oils and extracts — including allergens regulated by EU Regulation 1223/2009.This step is crucial to ensure regulatory compliance and, above all, your safety.
3. Selective allergen removal: purification technologies
   Our partners use cutting-edge fractionation methods to selectively remove allergens while preserving the aromatic essence of the plant. These include:

• Low-pressure fractional distillation – gently isolates and removes allergenic compounds.
• Selective extraction with natural solvents – uses safe, plant-based solvents to capture only unwanted molecules.
• Supercritical CO₂ purification – an innovative technology that uses CO₂ to extract allergens while preserving the original scent.

Thanks to these methods, we obtain purified fragrance fractions, allergen-free but rich in natural aromatic character, which we then incorporate into our products.

4. Integration and validation of fragrance in Alpeko formulasThese allergen-free aromatic essences are carefully integrated into our detergent and cosmetic formulas.
   Our team ensures that the original olfactory note remains — without any associated risks.In some cases, to ensure the complete absence of allergens and maximum purity, we may choose non-allergenic natural molecules, like plant-derived vanillin or benzyl acetate, to create a hypoallergenic scent perfectly suited to our products.

   Every batch is then validated to confirm compliance and the absence of detectable allergens.

The result of this meticulous process is an extraordinary natural fragrance, made entirely from plant sources and purified of all recognized allergens. It raises the quality and safety of our products.

Our products can be labeled “allergen-free” when the concentration of regulated allergens is below 0.01% — as in our highly praised natural dishwasher gel.

• Pure, authentic olfactory experience: enjoy the true scent of the plants without components that may cause discomfort.
