Should Skin Care Products Contain Fragrances?

Fragrances are wonderful aren't they? After all everyone loves to smell nice, and be with someone who smells nice, and fragrances are big business. But should you find fragrances in your skin care and anti aging products?

Because they're certainly there. Just have a look at, or a smell of, your current skin care products. So they have a fragrance? Do they smell good? Is there a fragrance listed on the label?

So what could possibly be a problem with finding fragrances in your anti aging skin care products?

Plenty.

Lets ask ourselves, what is a fragrance? Well of course it's just a nice smell. But how is that nice smell achieved? In most cases by means of synthetically produced chemicals. Yes most fragrances are made in a lab.

There are in fact more than 4000 "fragrances". Many of them are untested for safety for humans, and some of them are seriously suspected of being dangerous. And for some of them, no one knows.

Do you want to be putting chemicals on your skin when no one knows if they will be safe for use or not? Do you think skincare products like moisturizers, face creams, body lotions, restorative creams, masks, gels and so on should contain chemicals which are not known to be safe, and are considered by many to be unsafe?

Because that's exactly what "fragrances" are. And some can cause allergies and skin reactions in susceptible people. And others? Who knows what they do.

And fragrances are so common in anti aging products and skin care products like moisturizers and face creams because they help sell the product, not because they make the product work any better. In fact many of the top brand name anti aging products do very little, or nothing.

Is it any better using a perfume rather than a skin care product with a fragrance in it? Well yes, and no. Because of course a perfume is just a fragrance too, many are the same. However when you use a perfume you dab on a tiny amount whereas when you use a face cream, for example, you rub it all over your face, and neck, and rub it in to make sure it's gone. So it's all been absorbed into your system in larger amounts.

Do the best skin care products use fragrances? No. Do the mainstream big brand name companies that make the skin care and anti aging products you probably use now make the best skin care products? No.

A tiny niche company that I'll bet you've never heard of makes the best skin care products, and they don't put fragrances in any of them, just for this reason.
