> Here's the bad news: Synthetic chemicals in products like plastics and fragrances can mimic hormones and interfere with or disrupt the delicate endocrine dance. We're exposed to these chemicals daily, and we're especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—in utero and throughout childhood.“ Fragrance: It’s a Secret
The Federal Fair Packaging and Labeling Act of 1973 required companies to list the ingredients on their cosmetic product labels. Everything except fragrance.
Fragrance is a trade secret, allowing companies to withhold information on their proprietary blends. On one hand, that makes sense. You have a special product and you want to create, market, and profit from it. That’s fair.
But this loophole is often used to mask chemicals that have been shown to be harmful or untested altogether. If there’s something a company doesn’t want to disclose for whatever reason, they can simply (and legally) lump it under the name ‘fragrance.’
And while companies are required to disclose non-fragrance ingredients in perfume, the FDA does not have the authority to require these companies to test their products for safety before they are put on the shelves. So that leaves it up to the consumer to research the ingredients that are listed on the label in order to determine whether or not it’s safe to use.”
