Often the chemicals used in perfumes and fragrance are synthetic compounds and many are known skin sensitizers and irritants. On the majority of cosmetic and skincare product labels the ingredients are not specified separately

Common irritants often labeled simply as “Fragrance” or “Perfume” include:

Wood tars	Sandalwood oil	Benzyl alcohol
Benzyl salicylate	Cinnamic alcohol	Oak moss
Musk ambrette	Eugenol	Geraniol

Check the label of any of your existing products to see if they contain a perfume, parfum or fragrance
