A Rose by any other name….?

0 Comments

“A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet”…or would it? Do you wear a scent? My signature scent is lavender, but that which I wear is always completely natural…no synthetics. Did you realize the chemicals that can be added to the scent you layer from bath oil to that finishing touch of perfume? Most of us don’t think twice UNLESS you are the unfortunate one with a chemical/environmental sensitivity.

FRAGRANCES HIDE TOXIC CHEMICAL INGREDIENTS

Nobody wants to give their sweetheart or themselves a gift laced with toxic chemical fragrances. But many of us may unwittingly do so. That’s because a major loophole in federal law allows manufacturers to hide potentially hazardous chemicals in product scents, including substances linked to allergies, birth defects, and cancer in animal studies.

Cosmetics companies won’t tell you what’s in the scents they sell you. So the Environmental Working Group research team that produced Skin Deep, combed through thousands of gift ideas to pick some that smell great and have no hidden fragrance ingredients.
