What It IsCe que c'est

Plant-Based Air FreshenerAssainisseur d'air à base de plantes

A plant-derived air freshener built to neutralize odour at its source rather than mask it with perfume. The Sampson alternative to synthetic-fragrance aerosols — formulated by environmental engineers in Montreal since 2010.Un assainisseur d'air d'origine végétale conçu pour neutraliser l'odeur à sa source plutôt que de la masquer avec du parfum. L'alternative Sampson aux aérosols à parfum synthétique — formulé par des ingénieurs en environnement à Montréal depuis 2010.

Conventional air fresheners work by adding scent on top of an odour — a layer of synthetic fragrance that wears off and leaves the original smell underneath. Eco Air Freshener works on a different principle. Its active component is zinc ricinoleate, a plant-derived compound that binds odour molecules and neutralizes them at the source, in the air and on soft surfaces, rather than overlaying perfume.Les assainisseurs d'air conventionnels fonctionnent en ajoutant un parfum par-dessus l'odeur — une couche de parfum synthétique qui s'estompe et laisse l'odeur d'origine en dessous. L'Éco Assainisseur d'air fonctionne selon un principe différent. Son composant actif est le ricinoléate de zinc, un composé d'origine végétale qui capte les molécules d'odeur et les neutralise à la source, dans l'air et sur les surfaces textiles, plutôt que de superposer du parfum.

The formulation is water-based and biodegradable to OECD 301D. No VOCs. No phthalates. The synthetic-fragrance aerosol category carries a respiratory profile that rarely gets discussed on the can — propellants, fragrance carriers, and volatile solvents released as a fine mist into the air you breathe. This formula carries none of that.La formulation est à base d'eau et biodégradable selon la norme OCDE 301D. Sans COV. Sans phtalates. La catégorie des aérosols à parfum synthétique présente un profil respiratoire dont on parle rarement sur la canette — propulseurs, transporteurs de parfum et solvants volatils libérés en fine bruine dans l'air que vous respirez. Cette formule n'en contient aucun.

Use it on real odour sources — kitchens, bathrooms, pet areas, carpets, cars, gym bags, offices. Ships unscented so households with sensitivities can use it as-is; add your own scent from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances available separately.Utilisez-le sur les vraies sources d'odeur — cuisines, salles de bain, espaces pour animaux, tapis, voitures, sacs de sport, bureaux. Vendu sans parfum pour que les foyers sensibles puissent l'utiliser tel quel ; ajoutez votre propre senteur parmi plus de 20 huiles essentielles naturelles vendues séparément.

03 Benefits

Why It WorksPourquoi ça fonctionne

  • Neutralizes odour at the source. Zinc ricinoleate binds odour molecules and captures them rather than overlaying perfume — the smell is removed, not covered.Neutralise l'odeur à la source. Le ricinoléate de zinc capte les molécules d'odeur et les retient au lieu de superposer du parfum — l'odeur est éliminée, pas masquée.
  • No phthalate-based fragrance carriers. Conventional aerosols hide phthalates under "fragrance." This formula has no synthetic fragrance system at all, so there is nothing to hide.Sans transporteurs de parfum à base de phtalates. Les aérosols conventionnels camouflent les phtalates sous le mot « parfum ». Cette formule n'a aucun système de parfum synthétique, donc rien à camoufler.
  • Water-based, no VOCs. No propellants, no volatile solvent carriers released into the breathing zone — the spray is a fine water-based mist, not an aerosol of solvents.À base d'eau, sans COV. Aucun propulseur, aucun support de solvant volatil libéré dans la zone de respiration — le vaporisateur est une fine bruine à base d'eau, pas un aérosol de solvants.
  • Biodegradable to OECD 301D. The chelator is Trisodium MGDA, a modern biodegradable replacement for EDTA — disclosed on the label, phosphate-free.Biodégradable selon OCDE 301D. Le chélatant est le Trisodium MGDA, un remplacement biodégradable moderne de l'EDTA — divulgué sur l'étiquette, sans phosphates.
  • Ships unscented. Sensitivity-friendly out of the bottle; add your own scent from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances available separately — no phthalates, no parabens.Vendu sans parfum. Adapté aux personnes sensibles dès la bouteille ; ajoutez votre propre senteur parmi plus de 20 huiles essentielles naturelles vendues séparément — sans phtalates, sans parabènes.
04 How to Use

How to UseComment l'utiliser

1

Spray into the airVaporisez dans l'air

Works well on the bathroom and the car. I do wish it came in a larger refill size — I go through the bottle quickly using it in a few rooms. Added the citrus essential oil from their line and it's perfect.

My partner has asthma and reacted to every aerosol freshener we tried. This one she can be in the room for. Unscented out of the bottle, and the kitchen smell after cooking fish actually disappears.

What a synthetic-fragrance aerosol actually puts into the air

Air freshener doesn't remove the smell. It adds a stronger one on top.

Conventional air fresheners are a synthetic fragrance layered over the odour you wanted gone — released as a fine aerosol mist directly into the breathing zone, with phthalate fragrance carriers hidden under "fragrance" and volatile solvents you inhale.

Nearly 100% of people tested have detectable phthalates in their bodies — and cleaning-product and air-care "fragrance" is a common source, since no regulation requires disclosing it by name (CDC NHANES)

Indoor VOC levels run 2–5× higher than outdoor air — up to 10× higher during and after spraying cleaning and air-care products (EPA TEAM)

Air fresheners and cleaners containing terpenes (citrus/pine fragrance) react with indoor ozone to form formaldehyde and ultrafine particles — secondary pollution created by the scent itself (LBNL Indoor Air Quality)

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.

Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.

Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.

In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?

The Method

It binds the odour molecule. It doesn't mask it.

Zinc ricinoleate is a plant-derived odour neutralizer — paired and balanced by Diana and Angelo Diadelfo, M.Eng., environmental engineers since 2010.

1

Disperse a fine water-based mist

The spray releases a fine water-based mist carrying the active into the air and onto soft surfaces — no propellant, no aerosol solvent, no VOC carrier.

2

Bind the odour molecule

Zinc ricinoleate, the plant-derived active, binds the volatile odour molecules — the actual compounds your nose registers as smell — instead of layering a stronger scent over them.

3

Neutralize at the source

Once bound, the odour molecule can no longer reach your nose. The smell is neutralized rather than masked — so when the spray fades, the odour does not return underneath it.

4

Evaporate and break down

The water and bio-ethanol carrier evaporate clean. Anything that reaches the drain is biodegradable to OECD 301D, phosphate-free, with a modern MGDA chelator in place of EDTA.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Odour neutralization, the unscented format, ingredients, and what's left out.

It neutralizes it. The active is zinc ricinoleate, a plant-derived compound that binds the volatile odour molecules so they can no longer reach your nose — rather than adding a stronger fragrance on top. That's why the odour doesn't reappear when the spray fades, the way it does with masking air fresheners.
So households with fragrance sensitivities, asthma, or allergies can use it as-is — no synthetic fragrance carriers, no phthalates, no parabens. If you want a scent, Sampson sells 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances separately; add a few drops to suit the room.
Yes — spray onto fabric, carpet, upholstery, car interiors, and gear at a distance, then let it air-dry. Soft surfaces are where odour is absorbed rather than just floating, so treating them directly works better than spraying the air alone. Spot-test delicate or coloured fabrics first, as with any spray.
Kitchen odours, bathroom odours, pet areas, smoke residue, gym bags, hockey gear, car interiors, and general musty room smells. It targets the odour molecule itself, so it works across most common household sources rather than being tuned to one.
No. It's a water-based pump mist — no pressurized propellant and no volatile solvent carrier. Conventional aerosol air fresheners release propellant and solvents into the breathing zone along with the fragrance; this formula does not.
It's water-based with no phthalates, no VOCs, no synthetic fragrance carriers, no quats, and no phosphates. Five named ingredients are disclosed on the label — read them and decide what fits your household. Avoid spraying directly toward faces or food, as with any spray product.
OECD 301D is a standardized international test for ready biodegradability — it measures how completely a substance breaks down under controlled aquatic conditions. The formula meets that standard and is phosphate-free, with a modern MGDA chelator used in place of EDTA. The full ingredient list is disclosed on the label.
Yes. Formulated and bottled in Montreal by Diana and Angelo Diadelfo, environmental engineers (M.Eng.), and used by 20,000+ Canadian households since 2010.
