Why choose fragrance free products?
Sure fragrances make products smell wonderful, but they aren’t for everyone. Scents are made from a mixture of natural and man-made chemicals and a  typical “fragrance” can contain between 100 to 350 ingredients. The issue with scented products is not so much the smell itself as the chemicals that produce the smell. It is important to pay attention to the ingredients in our skin care products because these scents and fragrances enter our bodies through our skin absorbing everything we put on it. It is also important to note that even products containing natural plant extracts or essential oils, can cause allergic reactions in some people. Did you know that fragrance in personal-care products is the second most common cause of allergic skin reaction? Surveys show that about 16% of the population report sensitivity to strong scents and 44% of people who suffer from migraines say that strong fragrances can bring on an attack.

Here at Urban Botanicals you can rest assured that when our product is labeled as “Fragrance Free” we are meeting the Canadian and international labeling laws by not adding any type of essential oils or fragrances to our Fragrance Free products.
