Christian Dior once said \u201cA woman\u2019s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting\u201d \u2013 and it\u2019s true, your favourite fragrance is like your \u201cscent signature\u201d,\u00a0a powerful part of how you express yourself.\u00a0And, when you consider that over 60% of what you spray on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream, it\u2019s clear that your perfume becomes part of you in more ways than one.\u00a0Green goddesses know that natural perfumes win hands-down over synthetic fragrances, when it comes to scent, safety and sustainability;\u00a0so let\u2019s explore a little more about why you should be choosing a natural perfume as your signature scent.<\/p>\n

Find the Perfect Perfume to suit YOUR Unique Personality!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Hiding in Your Perfume?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First things first \u2013 your store-bought perfume might smell lovely, but what synthetic nasties are lurking in that bottle?\u00a0Here are a few common ingredients found in ordinary fragrance blends:<\/p>\n

Parabens
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These are synthetic preservatives, known for disrupting your body\u2019s hormone balance.<\/p>\n

Phthalates
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These are used as fragrance preservatives, and are found in high concentrations in most commercial perfumes. Phthalates are known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.<\/p>\n

Petrochemicals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These are compounds derived from petroleum and natural gases. Producing petrochemicals is highly energy-intensive, so they\u2019re bad for the planet; and they can trigger allergic reactions like eczema and rashes or even asthma, so they\u2019re bad for you too.<\/p>\n

Did You Know?<\/strong><\/em> In order to protect the unique formulations of their scents, the FDA allows perfume companies to withhold fragrance ingredients from consumers. That means your perfume\u2019s product label probably doesn\u2019t reflect what\u2019s actually going into the formula \u2013 and onto your skin.<\/p>\n

So, now we know the drawbacks of ordinary perfume \u2013 what are the benefits of using natural perfume instead?<\/p>\n

\n

Benefits of Natural Perfume<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They\u2019re Safe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made without any of those hidden nasties we mentioned above, natural fragrances can be absorbed into your skin without causing you any harm.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Hypoallergenic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Forget rashes and breakouts, natural blends are kind to your skin; and natural fragrance sprays are kind to your lungs too.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re Eco-Friendly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made with ethically sourced ingredients, and no petroleum derivatives, natural fragrances are gentle on the environment as well.<\/p>\n

They have Aromatherapy Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Natural perfumes are created using a blend of fragrant essential oils; each one has its own effect on your mood. Lavender is calming, while citrus notes are uplifting, and sandalwood clears the mind and balances the emotions.<\/p>\n

They Smell Amazing!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While synthetic perfumes mask the natural smell of your skin, natural perfumes create a more personal and unique scent, depending on the wearer. Plus they\u2019re made with pure, genuine floral and herbal ingredients, so they smell like the real deal and not a cheap imitation!<\/p>\n
