I paid $9.95 USD for the 4 ounce (120ml) bottle of Ceramic WET. Interestingly enough, Finish Line lists their Ceramic WET lube as being non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and fully biodegradable.

Yah mon ! Gone through alot of bottles of Simple Green in my day. I used another biodegradable degreaser to clean my chain this time around. I also like Orange Glo, a citrus based cleaner.
However, you are right. The Speed Degreaser is not biodegradable and is not safe for carbon frames and parts.

Speed Degreaser is a ‘dry style’ degreaser, which means that once it cleans, any residue evaporates off – leaving the parts clean, residue free. Speed Degreaser is at the top of the charts in cleaning power, about equal to our Citrus degreaser. It is not biodegradable though. It’s fast – literally melting off grime and crud from parts. You’ll want to have some old rags or newspaper under the bike because Speed clean literally rinses the junk right off – then dries within 30 seconds to leave parts squeaky clean with no oily-film residue like left by other degreasers. If you want to clean fast, spend no time wiping down parts, and have parts ready for relube right away – Speed Degreaser is the choice for you.

Also, if you have hydraulic disc brakes you do not want to let the brake fluid contact any painted or finished surfaces, esp. carbon frames and parts.
