Fragrance vs. All Natural Essential Oils . Fragrance is considered a trade secret, so companies aren't legally obligated to tell you what chemicals are used in their product. For all we know, there can be dozens or even up to hundreds in one product, which can include allergens, asthma triggers and hormone-disrupters. 95% of chemicals used in fragrances derive from petroleum. These toxins have been found everywhere including in fishies in the oceans. Many countries have banned synthetic fragrance chemicals because of the medical and environmental effects they have on us and the planet. . All Natural Essential Oils are plant extracts that are aromatic. Like plants, these essential oils can help our body function better. Essential oils are extracted from plant leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, barkwood, resin and fruit. 100% all natural essential oils are chemical free and safe to use on our bodies and safe for our environment (always consult a doctor if you have medical issues before introducing any new product - natural or not). . Purchasing products from companies that list all their ingredients, so we as consumers, are aware of what we are putting on our bodies, is one way to be involved in this green initiative. You check the labels when you're buying food, whether it be for an expiry date or for calories, so why not check the labels to what you are putting on your face and skin? Be informative and know what you're buying. . This month I have partnered with @hoppyandpoppy and @beradcosmetics and joined their Debris Free Beauty Campaign, to bring awareness to this growing and important issue. For the month of April, every online order placed, they will be donating $5.00 to @debrisfreeoceans which is an organization focused on a zero-waste lifestyle.
