Did you know more than 2 million people suffer from fragrance sensitivity? For many people, signs of fragrance sensitivity can cause hives and rashes, headaches, nausea, dizziness, sore throats, watery eyes, sneezing and more. Fortunately, more products are available without added fragrance, including fragrance-free makeup.
What DoesFragrance-Free MakeupMean?
If you have any type of fragrance sensitivity, you’re probably quite careful about the types of products you use. You might have noticed fragrance-free and scent-free are not synonymous.
Fragrance-free doesn’t mean the product will not have a scent, it simply means no artificial fragrances are used. For instance, our products do not contain artificial fragrances, but some of our natural ingredients do cause the products to have a light scent.
While people certainly can be allergic or sensitive to natural ingredients, artificial fragrances tend to be more irritating to the skin. We are exposed to many chemicals on a daily basis, it might be better to opt for fragrance-free makeup and skin care products for our health.
How To Shop “Fragrance-Free”
