In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards natural fragrances, fuelled by the belief that they are inherently better for your health. After all, natural ingredients are often associated with purity, freshness, and minimal processing. However, the truth about the suitability of natural ingredients for sensitive skins may not be as straightforward as it seems.
Yes, natural ingredients can offer benefits such as fewer contaminants and additives, which can reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Less processing means fewer opportunities for allergens to be introduced into the fragrance formulation, making natural perfumes seem like a safer choice for those with sensitive skin or health issues. However, the reality is more complex.
Natural does not necessarily mean hypoallergenic. In fact, many natural extracts are common allergens themselves. From essential oils to plant extracts, natural ingredients can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Even if an ingredient is considered "raw," it may still undergo some form of processing to be suitable for use. This processing can alter the composition of the ingredient and potentially increase its allergenicity.
So, what's the solution for those who want to avoid potential allergens while still enjoying the benefits of fragrance? Enter our bioidentical ingredients.
Bioidenticals are ingredients created in a laboratory setting with the exact same chemical structure as their natural counterparts. The key difference is that bioidenticals are free of allergens and contaminants commonly found in natural ingredients. This means that you can experience the beautiful scents of nature without the fear of triggering an allergic reaction.
Contrary to the term “natural” which is not regulated, bioidenticals undergo rigorous testing to ensure their safety and efficacy. They are free of unwanted irritants and pesticides, making them ideal for everyday use.
Our fragrances are formulated with bioidentical ingredients, providing peace of mind for all. By choosing bioidenticals over traditional natural ingredients, you can enjoy the beauty of fragrance without compromising on safety or efficacy.
