I have been obsessed with fragrance ever since I can remember. Yet, I never gave a second thought to what I was spraying behind my ears as long as I loved the fragrance. But now that I am older, wiser and more aware, I read labels. So I began to wonder, “What the heck is in my favorite scents?” I was not entirely shocked to find most fragrances on the market today contain harmful chemicals that we should not be breathing in, let alone be putting on our skin. Therefore I got to researching clean, sustainable and non-toxic perfumes. 

Clean, Sustainable and Non-toxic Perfumes

Fortunately, more and more companies are making non-toxic scents that we can enjoy every day without risking our health or the planet. But how can we still be wearing toxic perfume in 2023? Well the perfume industry is not regulated by the FDA so they don’t need to be transparent and can pretty much put whatever they want in that bottle. What are some of these harmful ingredients? Phthalates, Diethyl phthalate, Synthetic musks, Camphor, Benzaldehyde, Methylene chloride, Benzyl acetate, Ethyl acetate, Limonene, Linalool, Petrochecmicals and more!

I highly recommend you always read the ingredients list and check what the ingredients are in any fragrance before you buy it. And if the company is not transparent and you cannot find what the perfume is made with (even online)…don’t buy it.
