Why You Do Not Need Synthetic Fragrance in Your Skincare Products

At Nakin we are big skincare lovers but one of the things that we are not keen on in face products is synthetic fragrance. It is not an ingredient that we find works well with our natural biology and it is also not an ingredient that we feel has any benefits for our skin. We understand that many of us love something that smells great and some synthetic fragrances give a product a certain freshness, but at Nakin we believe in natural ingredients where possible, and this is why all our face products that contain fragrance only contain a 100% natural one. As well as being 100% natural it is also subtle and mild, because as we said fragrance has no benefits for our skin, and we prefer to fill our products with as much skin boosting natural ingredients as possible.

Why You Do Not Need Synthetic Fragrance in Your Skincare Products

Incorporating synthetic fragrances into skincare products can often do more harm than good. These fragrances are commonly found in a wide range of skincare products, yet they can lead to skin irritations, allergic reactions, and exacerbate conditions like eczema and sensitive skin. Many synthetic scents are derived from petroleum and may contain phthalates, which have been linked to hormone disruption. Moreover, the term "fragrance" on labels often masks a cocktail of undisclosed chemicals, making it difficult for consumers to make informed choices. Opting for fragrance-free or naturally scented products can reduce these risks and lead to healthier, more radiant skin without compromising on aroma.

The use of synthetic fragrances in skincare products has been a common practice for many years, but with growing concerns over their potential harmful effects, more and more people are seeking alternative options. Fortunately, there is a wide range of natural brands like our natural anti-ageing face products that offer fragrance-free or naturally scented products.

Not only do these alternatives reduce the risk of skin irritations and allergies caused by synthetic fragrances, they also provide a better environmental choice. In addition to being better for your skin, opting for fragrance-free or naturally scented skincare products can also have positive impacts on the environment. The production of synthetic fragrances often involves the use of strong chemicals and unsustainable practices, whereas natural scents are derived from renewable resources and can be produced in a more environmentally friendly way.

Choosing fragrance-free or naturally scented skincare products is not only beneficial for your skin but also for the planet. So, next time you're shopping for skincare, consider looking for options with natural scents like ours at Nakin or opting for a fragrance-free alternative. You might just discover your new favourite products and leave behind synthetic  fragrances for good.
