The Link Between Asthma & Perfume

When it comes to asthma most would consider air quality, dander, pollen, or other atmospheric disturbances as the causes. However, a lesser known antagonist to asthma sufferers is perfume. Commercial perfumes generally contain between 100 to 350 different ingredients. Scents enter the body through the lungs and the skin’s pores. Furthermore, once a fragrance has been applied the arsenal of toxic chemicals turns into vapor in the air and becomes attached to hair, clothing, and surroundings. Those with sensitivities to scent, especially asthmatic individuals, may consider exploring natural and organic perfumes before ditching fragrance altogether. Because our collection of artisan solid perfumes is completely natural and free of toxins our fragrances are a much safer alternative to conventional perfumes and colognes.
