Natural Fragrances in Cosmetics
Fragrance is an essential component in cosmetics. Using these products results in a sensory experience. From the appearance and aroma to the sensation when applied, each aspect plays an important role in your opinion about the product. Although the appearance, aroma, and application each contribute to the product’s overall allure, fragrance is one of the most important of the sensory experiences and is often a determining factor in the final selection process. However, fragrances are also known to be one of the most common allergens found in skincare and other beauty or personal care products.
Fragrances are divided into two classifications: natural and synthetic. Both natural and synthetic fragrance ingredients have the potential to cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. Nevertheless, synthetic fragrances may cause more adverse effects than naturally derived fragrances. In this article, we’ll take a look at what natural fragrances are, how they are derived, and the safety of natural fragrances in skincare and other cosmetics.
