Why Unscented Skincare Matters More Than You Think
When it comes to skincare, scent often steals the show. From floral face creams to citrusy body washes, fragrance can be a delightful part of the experience. But for many people, scent—whether natural or synthetic—can cause irritation, allergies, or simply be overwhelming. That’s where unscented products shine.
For me, this topic is personal. I’ve suffered from environmental allergies for years, and I know firsthand how powerful fragrance can be. Walking through the fragrance department of a store can be enough to trigger discomfort, and I’ve often had to change aisles—or leave altogether—just to feel comfortable again. Experiences like that shaped how I think about personal care products and why fragrance-free options matter.
I also hear from many customers who are going through chemotherapy or who are pregnant, and who find that scents become especially intense or unpleasant during those times. For people in these situations, fragrance-free products aren’t just a preference—they can make daily routines feel manageable again. That understanding is one of the reasons the Free & Clear line is so important to me.

Who Benefits Most from Unscented Products
People with Sensitive Skin
Fragrances, even organic essential oils, can sometimes trigger redness, itchiness, or dryness in sensitive skin. Unscented formulas help reduce the risk of irritation and support skin comfort.
Allergy-Prone Individuals
For those with fragrance sensitivities or environmental allergies, scented products can sometimes feel overwhelming. Fragrance-free options allow daily routines to feel easier and more comfortable.
Babies & Young Children
A newborn’s skin is thinner and more delicate, making gentle, fragrance-free skincare a common recommendation for the littlest family members.
People with Migraine Triggers
For some individuals, strong scents can contribute to headaches or discomfort. Unscented products can make personal care routines more pleasant.
Those Going Through Pregnancy or Medical Treatments
Many people notice that scent sensitivity increases during pregnancy or medical treatments such as chemotherapy. Fragrance-free products can feel much more comfortable during these times.
Anyone Who Prefers a “Clean Slate”
Some people simply want their skincare to do its job without leaving behind any scent—especially if they use perfume or cologne separately.
A Personal Note
As someone who has struggled with fragrance sensitivity myself, I understand how something as small as scent can affect daily life. Creating fragrance-free options wasn’t just a business decision—it was personal. Our goal has always been to make products that feel comfortable to use, every single day, for as many people as possible.
