45. Understanding Fragrance Allergens and Reading Labels (Cracking the Fragrance Code: Part 2)
Episode description
After exploring the realm of personal fragrances in the previous episode, this week I'm explaining what fragrance allergens are.
With new labeling laws, I've been getting quite a few questions about the list of fragrance allergens that are popping up on American product labels. So we're breaking down what fragrance allergens really are, why they matter, and whether you should be concerned.
The big picture: America is finally catching up to laws that have been in place in the EU for...almost 25 years.
My science brain is nerding out over a recent study that show how two constituents that are molecularly identical can have different effects on the human body. The difference? The source of the constituent. Naturally occurring limonene (found in citrus essential oils) isn't as repellent to mosquitos as synthetic limonene.
In this episode, you'll learn how to read fragrance allergen labels so that you can take care of your bio-individual body!
