\"Why<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spritzing\non perfume before heading out the door may be an afterthought at the end of\nyour beauty routine, but have you thought about the ingredients that make up\nyour favorite fragrance? That rose scent could be composed of unrecognizable chemical ingredients<\/a> that could result in more than just fragrant skin. Studies\nshow fragrance is the leading cause of skin\ninflammation<\/a>,\naffecting more than 2 million people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou\u2019ve experienced sneezing, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, wheezing, or\nskin reactions, you could be allergic<\/a> to something in your perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toxic Ingredients Lurking in Your Fragrance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Environmental Working Group<\/a>,\nthe average fragrance has 14 chemicals that are not featured on the label. Rather\nthan listing out the specific chemicals, companies can simply include\n\u201cfragrance\u201d as an ingredient, thanks to an FDA loophole that makes it legal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s tough to know exactly which chemicals are hidden in\neach formula, but any scented product likely includes phthalates<\/a>. The\npetroleum-based chemical keeps all the elements in a perfume evenly distributed,\nbut the troubling concern is that one in particular, diethyl phthalate<\/a>, has been\nshown to disrupt certain hormones. Other studies have linked phthalates to liver\nand breast cancer<\/a>. It\u2019s unclear how much is too much, but rubbing perfume\nonto skin daily allows these chemicals to be absorbed into the bloodstream.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other troubling chemicals include octoxynols\nand nonoxynols<\/a>. These can also result in hormonal problems. In addition to\nperfumes, these chemicals can be found in facial cleansers, aftershave,\nastringents, hair color, and acne treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Purpose of\nSynthetic Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, natural ingredients have been replaced\nby synthetic ones<\/a> to reduce costs and extend the shelf life of perfumes and\nother bath and body products. Using only naturally-sourced ingredients also\nbecomes more complex when large companies are expected to produce mass amounts\nwith consistent results. It\u2019s much easier for small,\nindie companies<\/a> to produce small batches with only natural ingredients,\nwhich is why they lead the way in the clean beauty industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural isn\u2019t always better than synthetic. Synthetic<\/a>\nsimply means the ingredient was manmade rather than derived from animals or\nplants. There are several natural ingredients that are no better than synthetic\ningredients\u2014whether they\u2019re harmful to humans or wildlife\u2014so it\u2019s best to pay\nattention to the proven troublesome ingredients, such as phthalates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Union plus several countries, including Canada\nand Japan, have banned phthalates, yet the chemical remains legal\nin the U.S<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Avoid Fragrance\nAllergies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you experience frustrating allergies or other health\ncomplications when exposed to fragrance, it may be easy to avoid the items\ncausing them. But what happens when chemical-laden perfumes surround you in\npublic spaces? Coworkers<\/a>\nwho douse themselves in eau de parfum could be the culprit for your office\nheadaches. In this case, if you feel comfortable ask them to reduce the amount,\nor take your concerns up with HR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another culprit? Magazines.<\/a>\nIf the perfume samples included with many ads are bothersome, contact the\npublisher about a scent-free program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
