CPAC can make your face and floor shine. The company's Fuller Brands segment (more than half of sales) boasts some 2,700 consumer and industrial products, including brushes, cleaning chemicals, brooms, and personal care products.

CPAC's Imaging segment manufactures and markets a line of branded and private-label chemicals and equipment for photographic, graphic arts, and health care applications. Products include photographic chemical silver-recovery equipment; the shift to digital imaging has hurt this segment. Private equity group Buckingham Capital Partners owns CPAC.

Not all chemicals are a naturalist's nightmare. Croda International gets most of its sales from its industrial specialties segment, primarily from oleochemicals (chemicals that are derived from natural oils).

For example, wool grease (more commonly known as lanolin) and its derivatives are used in nearly every cosmetic from lipstick to moisturizers as well as in medical care treatment products.
