Caldrea products are known for their indulgent fragrances, which shine through in the three aromatic scent combinations, created especially for the Essential collection at Target:
  • Citron Ginger – a lively, tangy scent with essential oils of grapefruit, ginger and basil
  • Olive Oil – earthy and herbal with essential oils of coriander and cedarleaf
  • Herbs of Provence – essential oils of rosemary, thyme and sage plus lavender, mint and lily of the valley
The Caldrea brand believes that caring for the home should be as luxurious as caring for the body.  Together, Target and Caldrea have worked to provide a premier cleaning experience with products that are highly effective, earth-friendly and enjoyable to use.  The Caldrea Essential Collection at Target boasts nine everyday items that are created without ammonia, chlorine, phosphates, parabens or petroleum distillates.  Additionally, all products are tested to ensure superior performance, are biodegradable and not tested on animals.
