Fragrance is a mix of chemical ingredients (usually 20-30 chemicals but up to 200 sometimes) that help the product to smell better. It can hide many bad things. Synthetic fragrances may contain many different chemicals, but manufacturers don’t want to reveal each of them for some reason and hide them behind the word "Fragrance".

Chemical fragrances can lead to irritation or cause allergic reactions. Fortunately, the fragrance is usually located at the bottom of the list meaning its concentration is low. If you see it at the top, it’s a bad sign… It's a good idea to test the product first in this case.

Limonene provides a nice and fresh citrus scent. It can be found in many plants. It's used in cosmetics because of its low price and pleasant smell.

The component is in the list of EU Allergens. It reacts with oxygen very fast and can irritate your skin or cause allergic reactions. It also improves the penetration effect of any ingredient. That’s why you should use products with Limonene carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Linalool gives the product a nice and fresh lavender scent. It can be found in many essential oils. It oxidizes during air exposure and becomes allergenic. It can lead to irritation causing problems for people with sensitive skin. The threat is even higher if the product was opened several months ago. In such products, more Linalool is oxidized.
