When you see the ingredient ‘fragrance’ on a beauty product, what they really should be putting is ‘hidden chemicals’.

Quite amazingly the FDA’s federal law lets manufacturers of products like shampoo and body wash include nearly any ingredient in their products under the name ‘fragrance’ without listing the chemical.

Companies that manufacture beauty products are required by law to list the ingredients they use, but fragrances and trade-secret formulas are exempt.

An analysis carried out on the chemical contents of products, reveals that ingredients listed as ‘fragrance’ often contain chemicals linked to health problems, including Phthalates, which is used to make fragrances last longer.

Artificial musks also listed, can accumulate in our bodies and be found in breast milk.

In order to avoid unpleasant side effects, it is best to choose fragrance-free cosmetics and beauty products. But do be aware of labels that say ‘unscented’, it may just mean that the manufacturer has added an extra fragrance to mask the original odor.

The producers of the products should be required to list all of their ingredients on the label so consumers can see what they’re buying. Safety standards must be set for personal care products by the federal government.
