What’s Inside Lost Coast Plant Therapy?
At Lost Coast Plant Therapy, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to protect your plants. That’s why we’ve carefully crafted our formula using only seven simple, high-quality ingredients, each chosen for its effectiveness, safety, and sustainability.
Our ingredients are certified organic, biodegradable, food grade, and cosmetic grade, ensuring that they’re gentle on plants, people, and the environment while still being tough on pests and plant issues.
What Makes Our Ingredients Special?
We take pride in what we leave out as much as what we put in. Our formula is created with highly effective ingredients, ensuring it’s safe for your plants, pets, and family when used as directed. Here’s why gardeners love Lost Coast Plant Therapy:
Biodegradable: All ingredients break down naturally, leaving no harmful residues behind.
Gentle yet powerful: When used as directed, safe for use on edible plants, so you can enjoy your harvest with confidence.
Eco-Friendly: Our ingredients work in harmony with beneficial insects like bees and parasitic wasps, keeping your garden’s ecosystem balanced.
What We Avoid: Unlike many other soaps, we never use sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate—two common but harsh ingredients.
Active Ingredients
Soy Oil
Type: Food grade, organic, and non-GMO
What it Does: Soy oil coats pests, suffocating them on contact—a natural, plant-derived method that doesn’t allow bugs to develop resistance. This ensures sustainable pest control while being completely safe for your garden ecosystem when used as directed.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Type: Organic and food grade (never synthetic)
What it Does: Peppermint oil naturally repels pests with its fresh scent, deterring them from returning while promoting a clean, healthy garden. It’s a natural, aromatic alternative to synthetic repellents that also adds a refreshing boost to your plants.
Citric Acid
Type: Organic, plant-derived from Cassava root, food grade
What it Does: Citric acid adjusts the pH of plant surfaces, making them inhospitable for powdery mildew and fungal spores, while also serving as a natural preservative to stabilize the formula. It’s an effective, natural way to combat fungal issues and promote a balanced garden environment.
Inert Ingredients
Soap
Type: An eco certified proprietary blend derived from a sustainable plant source
What it Does: Soap lowers the surface tension of liquids, allowing the spray to spread evenly across leaves, stems, and pests. It also emulsifies the formula, ensuring that all the ingredients mix together for maximum effectiveness.
Isopropyl Alcohol
Type: Cosmetic grade (safe for skin)
What it Does: Isopropyl alcohol emulsifies the ingredients, improving the formula’s ability to adhere evenly to plant surfaces. It also assists in pest control by drying out pests on contact, all while enhancing the formula’s effectiveness without compromising plant health.
Sodium Citrate
Type: Food grade
What it Does: Sodium citrate acts as a preservative and pH buffer, ensuring the formula remains stable and effective over time. It also helps balance the pH of the plant’s surface.
Water
Type: Purified through reverse osmosis
What it Does: Purified through reverse osmosis, water serves for thinning the ingredients for easy application and ensuring even coverage. By removing contaminants, it safeguards plant health and maintains the effectiveness of the formula.
How Does It Work?
Lost Coast Plant Therapy takes a natural approach to pest control, offering a simple and effective way to manage pests while protecting your plants organically and keeping your garden’s ecosystem thriving.
Suffocation: Active ingredients like soy oil coat soft-bodied pests, cutting off their ability to breathe.
Fungal Protection: Citric acid adjusts the plant's surface, creating an inhospitable environment for mold and mildew while eliminating spores on contact.
Thorough Coverage: Make sure to be thorough in your application; our formula spreads easily across leaves and stems, ensuring that no pest or spore escapes treatment when properly applied.

Why Non-GMO Matters
At Lost Coast Plant Therapy, we believe in a better way. That’s why we will never use synthetic ingredients or GMO ingredients in our products. GMO-derived ingredients come from crops engineered in a variety of aspects. A popular modification is to tolerate heavy pesticide use, which can lead to concerns about pesticide residues, potential allergens, and lack of transparency in sourcing for the end consumer.
By choosing non-GMO and organic products, you’re supporting cleaner, natural, and organic alternatives, sustainable farming practices, and advocating for a healthier environment and food system. Every choice you make, no matter how small, shapes the future of what farmers grow and the end customer consume.
