If you are sensitive to fragrance, we recommend checking the ingredients you need to avoid alongside the full ingredient list, rather than choosing by an “unscented” label alone. Our AMINO ACID MILD CLEANSER page carries fragrance-free and essential oil-free statements while also listing rosemary leaf oil. If avoiding essential oils is a firm requirement, ask us to clarify the formula of the product you intend to buy before choosing it.
What should you check beyond “unscented”?
Start with what you need from your cleanser. Looking for a product without a noticeable scent is different from looking for one formulated without fragrance ingredients. Your reason for avoiding an ingredient matters to the purchase decision.
A preference for a mild scent and a requirement to exclude a specific ingredient are not the same condition. Make your criteria as specific as possible: are you avoiding fragrance ingredients generally, or do you also need to exclude a particular oil, such as rosemary leaf oil?
If essential oils are on your avoid list, do not stop at a fragrance-free statement. Instead of asking only, “Is this suitable for sensitive skin?”, ask a more precise question: “I need to avoid rosemary leaf oil. Does the product I am about to purchase contain it?”
What does our cleanser page say?
Our AMINO ACID MILD CLEANSER product page includes the following statements and ingredient listing:
| What to check | What the product page lists |
|---|---|
| Fragrance statement | Fragrance-Free (unscented) |
| Essential oil statement | Essential Oil-Free |
| Ingredient list | Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil |
If you must avoid essential oils, the free-from statement alone is not enough to establish that this cleanser meets your requirements. Ask us whether the formula of the product you intend to buy contains rosemary leaf oil and how that ingredient listing aligns with the essential oil-free statement.
If rosemary leaf oil itself is an ingredient you must exclude, its presence or absence is the deciding factor.
Individual responses can vary.
Match the product to your own avoid list
Before purchasing, compare your requirements with the information for the actual product you plan to receive:
- Name the ingredients you avoid. Write down whether your requirement concerns fragrance generally, specific oils, or other named ingredients.
- Check the full ingredient list. If possible, ask us or the retailer for the ingredient list on the product packaging.
- Clarify conflicting information. If a free-from statement and the ingredient list appear inconsistent, ask which formula applies to your purchase.
If you must exclude rosemary leaf oil and the product you would receive contains it, choose another product that meets your criteria. If scent intensity is your only concern, ask about that separately rather than assuming a free-from label describes the actual smell.
