Non-floral perfumes are fragrances that do not contain floral notes. Many companies today use unnatural synthetic fragrances that contain chemicals that can be harmful to our body. To avoid these harmful chemicals, consumers can choose non-toxic and natural perfume brands that consciously and carefully source their ingredients naturally and sustainably and list their ingredients transparently. Here are some details about non-floral perfumes:
Positive:
- Made from sustainably sourced raw materials
- Free of skin sensitizers, endangered plant species, phthalates, parabens, and more than 1,300 other questionable toxic ingredients
- Safe for sensitive skin
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Made with non-toxic synthetic ingredients
Negative:
- Some non-toxic perfumes can be expensive
- Some traditional perfume houses do not list the ingredients used in their fragrances
Ingredients or materials:
- Organic sugar cane alcohol base
- Botanical ingredients that help lock in moisture, like grape seed, fractionated coconut, apricot, and meadowfoam seed oils
- Pink Pepper Extract, Juniper
It is important to note that the ingredient makeup of fragrances is not required to be listed, and many brands hide some of them behind the word “fragrance” . However, newer brands who lean into the non-toxic and conscious market are making the formulations of their scents public, giving consumers confidence in buying from them without worrying about the potential iffy ingredients lurking in many traditional fragrances.
