Abstract: An additive transporter, housing additive ingredients of synergists and surfactants preferably for use in a natural, weed control application, insect control application, algae removal and/or mold removal end-use application. In certain non-limiting embodiments, the transporter can be fluid soluble. Where the transporter is fluid soluble it can be added to a container/bottle having a desired amount of water and organic acid or inorganic acid causing the transporter to dissolve and release the additive ingredients for mixing with the water and organic acid. Preferably, the additive or product enhancer ingredients can be organic ingredients and can comprise, without limitation, citric acid, potassium oleate, wintergreen oil and almond oil. Potassium citrate can also be included. As the transporter dissolves the released ingredients mix with organic acids and/or inorganic acids to provide an end-use composition for eco-friendly weed control, insect control, algae removal and/or mold removal.
