Why Our Lip Balm is Fragrance Free

We sometimes receive reviews and comments about our Lip Treatment Balm being fragrance free, and we know that some customers like a scented lip balm. However, we purposely formulated our Lip Balm to be fragrance free, as the skin is thinner here than the rest of the face. This also applies to our Eye Cream Complex, which is also fragrance free. Our Lip Treatment Balm does contain a small amount of mint essential oil, for its stimulating and plumping properties, but other than this is completely fragrance free.

At Nakin where our range is not completely fragrance-free we only use a subtle amount of a 100% natural fragrance, as we believe that this is much kinder to our skin, and overall health. Fragrance has a lot of controversy and so we prefer to fill our natural anti-ageing face products with more skin boosting ingredients, instead of synthetic fragrance which has no actually beauty benefits, but can have negative effects.

Choosing fragrance-free lip balms is essential for several reasons, particularly for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Fragrances can often cause irritation, leading to dryness or chapping, which defeats the purpose of using a lip balm in the first place. Additionally, since our lips can absorb substances differently than other areas of the skin, it is vital to use products that minimise the risk of adverse reactions. Opting for fragrance-free lip balms ensures a gentler, more nourishing experience that effectively protects and hydrates the lips without unnecessary additives.

In addition to being beneficial for those with sensitive skin or allergies, fragrance-free lip balms can also be a safer option as fragrance has a lot of controversy. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for natural beauty products that are free from synthetic fragrances. Fragrance-free lip balms like ours fit perfectly into this category as they do not contain any artificial scents or perfumes. Instead, we utilise more natural ingredients such as plant extracts for a lip loving experience that is kind and nourishing. 

Overall, while fragrances may add a pleasant aroma to traditional lip balms, they can also pose potential risks and irritations. For those looking for a safer, more natural option for their lips, fragrance-free lip balms offer numerous benefits. From being suitable for sensitive skin to promoting long-term lip health and supporting our natural biology and wider eco-friendly practices, there are plenty of reasons to make the switch to fragrance-free lip balms. So next time you're shopping for lip care products, consider opting for a fragrance-free option that will keep your lips healthy and happy.
