Ever look at the ingredient list of one of your beauty products and wonder what Perfume or Fragrance really means? This may surprise some, but Perfume or Fragrance is NOT just one ingredient, “it can easily hide 100 ingredients that don’t have to be listed on the label.” Crazy right??
Some of these unwanted chemicals, include several hormone disruptors, carcinogens and allergy- and asthma- triggering ingredients.
So what are some alternatives to Perfume or Fragrance? The first option you have is to go with Fragrance-Free products. Too make sure that the product is actually unscented, take a sniff because many creams and body care products have a light fragrance, even when it says Fragrance-Free.
The second alternative to Perfume or Fragrance is to go for products that derive their aroma from natural sources. You can also shop for products that have “Phthalate-Free” labelled. I personally like using high-quality, certified organic essential oils.

Awesome article – companies are super sneaky about the way they label their products and it’s important for consumers to equip themselves with the appropriate knowledge! 😉

Great post, I was actually reading about this on the breast cancer foundation website, they have a section on how to prevent breast cancer calle beyond pink and if you take a pledge you will have access to a tool kit that contains a checklist foreach space of your home so you see which products around the house might have ingredients linked to cancer.
i actually never really thought about what’s in my perfume….maybe i should now.
i prefer products that use essential oils for fragrance, than parfum, bec i sneeze when i smell something too overbearing!
thanks for the info, i never bothering whats in my cosmetic ingredients, but i think, i should now 🙂
I’m picky with what products I want scented or not. I love when stuff like lotion and cream has a light scent to them, but don’t see the need for face powder to be!
This is such an important message! So often we just assume that all products are safe if they are allowed to be sold, but that’s so often NOT the case. Thanksf or sharing these tips, Nina!
Thanks for the info.
Segun dicen hay que leer las etiquetas y cuanto mas nombres “raros” hay en los ingredientes, mas toxicos son los productos. Gracias por el tip!
Que buen articulo no sabia la diferencia todos los dias se aprende algo nuevo gracias Nina!
Most of the perfumed lotions irritate my skin and it’s really no wonder! What you’ve said is so true! <3
No sabía eso. Me gustan los olores de procedencia natural. Son riquísimos. Además, los perfumes me dan alergia.
Gracias por la información!! no tenía en claro cual era la diferencia!
Thanks for the info i were never aware or say never considered how those scented product can harm someone …
New to me! as Jake said the companies sure likes to have it their way.

I think if we would study every product it would be so hard for us to actually buy something…
I never thought about this =) Penny for your thoughts =D
I like to use organic essential oils, too. 🙂
Interesante! Thanks for teaching us!
Thanks for sharing this tidbit. It is nice to know what we have in those cute perfume bottles ^^
Good info. Honestly. I feel ok with perfume because I cannot stand certain smell of raw materials. Eg: SK2 pitera. Dunno why i just hate it!
yes! another girl who is aware of phthalate-free products! I think even when we are buying fragrance or perfume, we should also be more careful about the ingredient…
This is really thought provoking about what actually is in my fragrance!
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve never read ingredients list before.. boo me!
You are so right on this. I mainly go for organic products and mainly products that also say phthalate-free. So far, there’s so many things to look out for that it’s crazy and just hope that popular brands will catch up soon and give us cleaner ingredients.
I totally love the organic essential oils- they last waaayyyy longer than other perfumes and smell just as good. BB2U
Thanks for the info! 🙂
Great info, I didn’t know this.
I never knew it 😀 Thanks for letting me know .
I choose essential oils (Lavender) over perfumes. ^_^
Great info, Nina. It’s crazy that a single word on a list of ingredients can mean so many chemicals!
Wow! I never knew that perfume/fragrance had so many ingredients in it.
Wow?! This is such an eye opener o.O
Good to know – it’s crazy how many ingredients go into the products we put all over our bodies. Thanks Nina!!
