The Home Chemical Almanac
Label-word index
Correct as of November 2026.
How to use this index
Find the word on your label, then turn to the chapter shown. The badges tell you, at a glance, what that chapter found:
โ Poison schedule (Australia) ยท โ Officially classed skin allergen ยท ๐ข Made from a hazardous chemical ยท ๐ง Contaminant risk
No badge doesn't mean "nothing to know": every chemical still has a worst fact.
Australian cleaning products don't have to list all their ingredients, so a label often uses a group word instead of a chemical name. If that's all you've got, start with the table below; the chapter will show you the chemicals it usually means.
