The 4 Best Non-Toxic Perfumes 2022: Discover Your Signature Scent
by Justine Prevosteau March 30, 2022
Why natural, non-toxic perfume? Why not anything that delights the senses? Natural scents found in essential oils, resins, bark, seeds, and flowers contain a life force (absent in synthetics) that can be complex, layered and deeply evocative. Instead of synthetic, factory-born flowers, it's time to opt for the real thing!The labeling of the word “fragrance” or “parfum” can be problematic as it may contain hundreds of unlisted ingredients in the name of protecting a proprietary blend. According to the EWG, “fragrance” on a product ingredient label can represent an undisclosed mix of scent chemicals, phthalates, hormone disruptors, and headache-inducing toxins.Lucky for us, with a resurgence of natural perfume brands, there are plenty of options that will give you a more pleasant olfactory buzz and offer a finishing touch to your beauty regimen. I love the way natural perfumes evolve in the skin, offering a unique and individual experience. They offer the most sensual gateway into feeling beautiful. I hope you can discover something interesting, inspiring, even illuminating—a scent that will allow you to express to the world what brings you joy and pleasure.
