Why We Trust This Brand
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.
Ingredient Deep Dive
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.

The Bottom Line

10 Independence
Meliora means "better" in Latin, and this company was founded on the principle that cleaning products should disclose every single ingredient — not just the "active" ones. In an industry where companies can legally hide ingredients behind terms like "fragrance" or "cleaning agent," Meliora lists everything.
