Why You Should Consider Using Fragrance-Free Products

What’s That Smell Doing to Your Health?

I know—it’s hard walking into a store and not wanting that amazing spring-scented hand soap or those dreamy “summer vibes” candles. They’re tempting, comforting, and smell like nostalgia in a bottle… but have you ever stopped to think about what’s actually behind that scent?

Artificial fragrances are one of the most common (and most overlooked) sources of toxic exposure in our daily routines. That "fragrance" listed on personal care and household products? It’s often a cocktail of dozens to hundreds of undisclosed synthetic chemicals.

Artificial fragrances are among the top allergens found in skincare, haircare, cleaning products, and even makeup. They can contribute to:

• Hormonal disruptions

• Headaches and migraines

• Respiratory issues

• Skin irritation or breakouts

• Long-term toxic load on your liver and kidneys

The problem? Companies aren’t required to disclose the exact ingredients behind the word “fragrance,” so you're often left in the dark.

A Safer Choice

The good news is, you can still enjoy beautifully scented products—without compromising your health. Choose items labeled fragrance-free or those that use pure essential oils instead. These options not only smell wonderful, but they also come with additional therapeutic benefits, like calming lavender or refreshing citrus.

As a beauty nutritionist, I always guide my clients toward cleaner, more nourishing choices from the inside and out.
