[INGREDIENT DATA] Fragrance In Cosmetics

WHAT IS A FRAGRANCE?

A scent, made of a mixture of essential oils and aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents that you wear on your body to make it smell good.
A scent added to a beauty product to neutralize the nasty odours of its ingredients.



WHY ARE SKINCARE PRODUCTS SCENTED?

To get you to buy them. Its funky smell will give you say "I do" eventhough the packaging and price a bit pricey.
No one wants to use something that stinks. That’s why even people who get skincare sneaks in the tiniest amount of fragrance in their products to mask the stink of their ingredients.

HOW SKIN REACT TO FRAGRANCE

The way most fragrance ingredients impart scent is through a volatile reaction. Unfortunately, this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. In fact, research has established that fragrances in skincare products are among the most common cause of sensitizing and other negative skin reactions. And this is true for all skin types, not just those with sensitive or redness-prone skin.

You might very well be thinking that because your skin doesn't show signs of being bothered or aggravated by the fragranced products you’re using, then it must not be a problem that applies to you. We wish that were true but it’s still a serious concern because skin is very good at hiding when it’s being aggravated. You might not see the damage on skin’s surface, but it can be silently occurring every day, causing minor problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term.


WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID SCENTED SKINCARE PRODUCTS

It’s also an experience your skin especially if it’s sensitive or suffers from eczema and psoriasis would rather avoid. It can trigger: allergies, asthma, eczema,headaches,hives, irritations, nausea and psoriasis.
