Inert ingredients
Everything in a pesticide besides its actives, when the label names it: water, glycerin, soap, gums. A minimum-risk product has to list its inert ingredients by name.
Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Depends on the ingredient.
- Why it's in the product
- Carries and spreads the actives.
- Safety and toxicity
- Read as one line, like a vitamin premix. What is inside still counts: a fragrance or a cosmetic preservative named there raises its own flag.
General reference, not veterinary advice. Dose, breed, and existing conditions change the answer, so talk to your vet before changing what your pet eats. Think we got this wrong? Tell us and we log it publicly.
