Riddle is a brand that produces fragrance oils and bases for their scented products. The ingredients used in their products are listed on their website, and they include organic aloe leaf juice, organic coconut oil, glycerin, and emulsifying wax, among others. Riddles formulas are free of toxic chemicals and are vegan and cruelty-free. However, the specific ingredients used in their fragrances are not disclosed due to the confidentiality of the fragrance formula.
Riddles Original and Sphinx fragrances are base note only formulas, which means they contain only base notes. Base notes are the heaviest molecules in a fragrance and are responsible for the scents longevity. Riddles pheromone oils are also made using only base notes and are ambroxan heavy, making them ideal for anyone who cannot handle fragrance due to headaches or any general aversion.
It is important to note that fragrance formulations are considered a "trade secret" and are therefore protected from disclosure, even to regulators or manufacturers. A single scent may contain anywhere from 50 to 300 distinct chemicals, and three-quarters of the toxic chemicals detected in a test of 140 products came from fragrance. However, Riddles formulas are free of toxic chemicals, and they list all of the possible known allergens in their products.
