Check your labels. If you see the word "fragrance" listed as an ingredient on your shampoo, conditioner, lotion, detergent, and cleaning product labels - beware! This is the loophole that companies can use to hide chemicals in your products. "Fragrance" could mean 5 chemicals, it could mean 10. It could mean 100. And often, it really is 100. People think there's a safety net, an FDA or similar unit to prevent this from happening. The truth - there are currently NO rules or regulations to prevent this from happening. Beautycounter is trying to change that.
For more information, check out this 2015 documentary, Stink, by Jon Whelan, a single dad who made it his mission to expose this fragrance loophole after purchasing pajamas for his young daughters online, that when opened, reeked of chemicals. This prompted him to investigate what chemicals companies would put on children's pajamas and what he found is rather frightening. You deserve to know what you're putting in and on your body.
