Are you scent sensitive?

It's a situation that we at Green People hear about all too often. People are desperate for fragrance-free, neutral products because fragrances irritate their skin, make their eyes water or other symptoms of allergy.

Sitting on the bus, spending time at work or relaxing in a cafe can all turn into allergy-triggering events thanks to the strong artificial perfumes that many people wear. The festive season can be particularly bad, with everyone spritzing on scents for Christmas parties and celebrations.

Perfumes are usually made from a mix of chemicals, unknown to consumers and untested for safety. Many of the chemicals used are from synthetic sources and can be irritating to sensitive skin.

It isn't just actual perfumes that are a problem for those with fragrance allergies, however. Fragranced products of any kind, from hand washes to hair conditioner, are just as likely to trigger a scent allergy as designer perfumes.

Although it is usually artificial fragrances that are the cause of allergy problems, it is also possible to be allergic to essential oils - the natural fragrances we use in our organic skin care products.

This is why we developed the Organic Base No Scent range. Made without essential oils or perfume of any kind, these fragrance-free products are ideal for those with essential oil allergies or multiple sensitivities.
