A fragrance can be made up of dozens or even hundreds of different chemicals. One fragrance can be made up of completely different chemicals from another.
Among these chemicals are numerous known allergens such as geraniol, eugenol, citronellol. Additionally, several hazardous chemicals can be found in fragrance: phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive harm; synthetic musks, which may alter hormone levels; and cancer-causing chemicals like styrene and methyl eugenol. But you won't find these ingredients listed on product labels--you'll just see the word "fragrance."
- 96 percent of shampoos contain fragrance
- 98 percent of conditioners contain fragrance
- 95 percent of shaving products contain fragrance
- 91 percent of antiperspirants contain fragrance.
One more thing, going fragrance free is very expensive!
