Fragrances in skin products, yes or no?

Have you noticed that on the labels of your skin products there are very complicated names and you do not know what they really are? That’s when you should be a little careful before buying a new product that you have not investigated before because one of those many names that you can read on the labels, can be alcohol or some type of fragrance.

Fragrances in products is something that we must avoid at all costs, why?

Because fragrances, in addition to being useless, do not provide any kind of benefit to your skin but on the contrary, they have a high risk of causing serious skin irritations, so serious that it can cause conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, urticaria and photosensitivity. It does not matter if it is a natural or synthetic fragrance, both have this high level of risk.

As I mentioned before, analyzing the labels can be a difficult task because the fragrance does not always appear as its name is “Fragrance, parfum, aroma, perfume”, etc.
The fragrance tends to adhere to the formulas because this increases the consumption of the product, but the quality of the product is not always due to the ingredients it contains, but also to the ones it does not contain.

We leave you a list of how you can identify the fragrance in a product:

ACETYL CEDRENE, AMYL CINNAMAL, AMYL CINNAMYL ALCOHOL, AMYL SALICYLATE, TRANS-ANETHOLE, ANISYL ALCOHOL, BENZALDEHYDE, BENZYL BENZYL ALCOHOL, BENZYLYLY BENLYLYLYLATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, BENZYL ALLYL ALCOHOL, BENZYLATE BENLYLYLYLYLYLATE (LILIAL), CAMPHOR, BETA-CARYOPHYLLENE, CARVONE, CINNAMAL, CINNAMYL ALCOHOL, CITRAL, CITRONELLOL, COUMARIN, (DAMASCENONE) ROSE KETONE-4, DAMASCONE, DIMETHYL BENZYL, EUADOLET, DIMETHYL BENZYL CARBINYL, CARBINYL, ACCOOLE, DIMETHYL BENZYLET, CARBINYLCA GOLDEN, EUBINYL BENZYL, CARBINYL.
