Today, let’s talk about parfum. And is it really just an innocent smell?
We often find this ingredient on the label of a cosmetics products and many more. Starting from perfumes, face and body washes, shampoos, baby wipes to household cleaning products.
“Fragrances” or “parfum” are a bouquet of mysterious ingredients that often contain toxic ingredients, such as volatile organic compounds, parabens, phthalates, synthetic musk. And this bouquet can gradually cause quite serious health problems…
Parfum is a chemically produced fragrance that gives products a pleasant feeling. However, it does not have any functional purpose.
Consider how many products you use on a daily basis. Body cleanser, moisturizer, hair oil, deodorant, aftershave balm, perfume, foundation, lipstick. You probably easily counted at least ten products without even leaving the house. And what about the pleasant smell in the car, in the office, the evening routine in the bathroom. What dose of this toxic substance does our body receive per day?
All these substances are persistent, tend to accumulate in the body and the environment and cause negative effects on our health. The longer the smell lasts, the more intense it is, the more likely it is that a greater amount of hazardous chemicals has been used to produce this smell.
Therefore, instead of chemical fragrances, we recommend choosing natural alternatives, such as essential oils. Natural essential oils are extracted from plants, can be used in cosmetics, indoor breathing, aromatherapy. Scents extracted from plants and other natural materials have accompanied a person since ancient times, so it is definitely a much healthier alternative.
Today, significant changes are taking place in the beauty industry. We are happy to see how people are becoming more aware and changing their habits and returning to products made only from natural and organic ingredients, knowing the beneficial and harmful ingredients.
Thank you for taking care of your health, and if you have any questions, write to us.
