Because “fragrance” can legally mean anything, labels alone are often misleading.

🔍 Tips for label reading:

• Avoid any product that lists only “fragrance” or “parfum” with no detail.
• Look for “fragrance-free” (not just “unscented” — which may still contain masking scents).
• Choose brands that list every ingredient, including what makes up the fragrance.

✅ Trustworthy certifications:

• EWG Verified: Fragrance transparency required; phthalate-free.
• MADE SAFE Certified: Bans synthetic musks, phthalates, and undisclosed fragrance blends.
• USDA Organic (for personal care): Fragrance must be essential-oil based and listed.
• Leaping Bunny (optional): Indicates cruelty-free and often aligns with cleaner formulations.

Brands to consider:

• Attitude, Pure Living, Grow Fragrance, Scentuals, Fontana Candle Company
