Breaking the Myth: Natural Cosmetics Don’t Smell Good
Natural
cosmetics, as the name suggests are made with only herbal constituents. Thus,
many people believe that such natural skin care products or natural personal
care products don’t have scintillating scents. There are times when people only
choose a chemical-based skincare cosmetic product or personal care product
based on the artificial fragrance. Just because, people are lured by the
artificial scent, they select a product. Also, there is a misconception that
natural products do not smell as good as chemical products. But, this is
just a myth. Natural skincare products smell far better than chemical-based
products simply because their scent is natural and harmful. Let’s explore this
further in this article.
What makes chemical-based cosmetics
smell good?
Chemical-based cosmetics, be it moisturizers or soaps have different fragrances. All
such fragrances are generated by the synthetic chemicals which are used. Plenty of such artificial
fragrances are used to basically compel a user to buy such skin care cosmetic
products. You might have read various terms like fresh, fruity, floral, etc. on
many product labels, but all of these smells are added artificially to the
cosmetics.
Artificial
fragrances are generally used to invoke fascinating smells which are not good
for the health of an individual. Plenty of synthetic chemical ingredients are
mostly labeled as ‘fragrance’, but they are actually hazardous products like
methylene chloride, acetone, ethanol, benzyl alcohol, etc. Many artificial
fragrances can cause various health problems like skin allergies and asthma
also.
How pleasantly fragrant are natural
cosmetics?
Now, when we know that most chemical-based skin care cosmetic products and private label beauty products smell good only because of synthetic chemicals, it's time to rethink our cosmetic choices. It is better to go for natural products, which do not contain any harmful chemicals. The natural aroma of herbal cosmetics is a result of beneficial natural ingredients that are used to create such natural skin care products.
Nowadays,
many natural cosmetic manufacturers have found various herbal ingredients
that can offer a stirring smell without causing any harm to the body. Natural
fragrances imparted by roses, saffron, jasmine, and many other gifts of nature
are being used by natural skin care cosmetic manufacturers. This is done to
not only make the natural cosmetics smell good but also to make them a lot more
attractive, as often the public is lured by the artificial scents of the
chemical-based cosmetics.
What are the key fragrant ingredients
used for making natural cosmetics and personal care products?
Some
of the most used natural ingredients that impart alluring scents to cosmetic or personal care products are lavender, rosemary, aloe, rosewood,
spearmint, jasmine, etc. Apart from these, plenty of essential natural skin oils
are also used for imparting superb fragrances. A few of the best natural oils
are rose oil, sandalwood, chamomile, etc.
Therefore,
