Perfume and Cologne Analysis

Fragrance is one of the ingredients in perfume, cologne or scented body lotion in the bathroom or on the dressing table. In fact, the fragrance is not a single ingredient, but rather a mixture of dozens of ingredients used to create popular flavors. But the frightening thing is that there is little idea of ​​what materials are mixed in the lab to create scents.

Research shows that dozens of chemical compounds in the content of most fragrances are generally known toxins, allergens and hormone disruptors. However, manufacturers refer to these ingredients with one umbrella term: fragrance. 80 percent of the chemicals used to create a fragrance fail to be tested to be safe for humans. The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also allows fragrance to be listed as an ingredient. Because companies want to keep their formulas secret. In this respect, it is a more appropriate option to try to use such products with minimal ingredients, but more importantly, to use fragrance-free products.

Most perfume or cologne users usually inhale most of the product. In fact, if the chemicals in perfume are toxic to the skin, they are also toxic to the lungs. Thanks to the toxic phthalates added to the fragrances, the fragrance is intended to last for a long time. In other words, after a perfume is sprayed, it stays in the air and on surfaces for a long time. Fragrance can also cause allergic reactions, trigger pain in people who are sensitive to migraine, difficulty breathing in people with asthma, or cause damage to the sinuses. The biggest problem is that the toxins in the odor build up in the body over time, making them even more deadly.

Phthalates are known to be harmful worldwide. In fact, European Union countries, Japan, China, Canada and many other countries have banned the use of phthalates in cosmetic products. Unfortunately, the FDA does not protect people when it comes to the use of toxic chemicals in products. That's why it's important to do research and be knowledgeable consumers. Today, some manufacturers are trying to create fragrances that are not tested on animals and that are vegan and non-toxic.
