Synthetic fragrances are a mixture of chemicals combined to create or imitate a certain scent. These chemical compositions are often labelled as “perfume/parfum,” “fragrance,” or “fragrance oil” on products, making it impossible to figure out exactly what you’re putting on your skin.
Many chemicals used in synthetic fragrance can irritate skin, cause headaches, and harm your skin’s appearance in the long-term.

Sulfates are essentially a type of salt that forms from sulfuric acid, often used in face and body cleansers to create that foamy lather. Yes, they do remove dirt and oil, but that includes the natural, protective oils that protect our skin from irritants and dryness.
Sulfates can strip the skin of essential moisture, disrupt your pH, and wreak havoc on sensitive skin.

Preservatives are groups of chemicals that are used to extend the shelf-life of products longer than is natural. Parabens are a common type of preservative you may have heard of that have been observed to disrupt hormone production, particularly in women.
As preservatives are so common in everyday products, our exposure to these chemicals compounds over time.

If you’ve read this far, you’ve definitely heard of retinol before. This popular ingredient is known for its anti-aging properties, but it can also be harsh for many skin types. Additionally, new research suggests that overexposure to retinol can cause skin irritation and other side effects.
We work with experts in the natural skincare field to learn about natural alternatives to retinol that provide the same benefits, without the risk.
