Neem oil works well, IME and is not technically an insecticide :-) You can also, or in addition to the Neem, use water-sprays (hose or squirt bottle/gun) to blast off the aphids. Outdoors is best, of course, or give hard rinse in a shower...or whatever works (!). If there's aphids, you will see them with careful inspection(s). If none present on other plants, they are not the issue on *those*...
