Scented Products

Introduction

     Shampoo, body wash, lotions, and especially perfume usually contain synthetic fragrance. To keep trade secrets safe, producers of fragrance are enabled to withhold the ingredients. So, you cannot depend on the labels to tell you what is in the scent. However, this can mean bad news for consumers. It means that anything could make up that addicting floral scent of your shampoo. 


Opinion

      Synthetic fragrance is not good. It can be made up of hundreds or even thousands of chemicals. Even if a label says fragrance-free it could still have fragrance to cover up chemical scents. The health problems it can bring about is also bad. Chemicals in the fragrance, like phtalates, can cause allergies, birth defects, and cancer.


Final Thoughts

      Why risk it? Try to avoid fragrances. Something as simple as reading the label can help you keep away from the dangerous scents. What are your thoughts on synthetic fragrance? Answer in the comments below.
