Ingredient Info

Fragrance (Parfum) is a concentrated blend of aromatic compounds—including essential oils, aroma chemicals, and natural extracts—added to skincare products to provide a pleasant scent. It serves no active skincare benefit and is purely for sensory appeal.



Benefits

  • Enhances the sensory experience of using the product
  • Can make the skincare routine feel more luxurious or enjoyable

Potential concerns

  • May cause irritation or allergic contact dermatitis, especially in sensitive skin
  • Can trigger headaches or respiratory sensitivity in some people
  • Fragrance compounds may be comedogenic (pore-clogging) in acne-prone skin
  • Some fragrance components degrade over time and can become irritating

Science: Fragrance is a common cause of contact dermatitis and allergic reactions in skincare. The specific composition of 'Fragrance' blends is proprietary and undisclosed, making it difficult to identify which compounds may trigger individual sensitivities. People with sensitive or reactive skin often benefit from fragrance-free alternatives.
