Do you have skin that is prone to rashes or irritations? Are you extra sensitive to fragrances? Many makeup brands contain added fragrances, but there are makeup brands that create fragrance-free products.

1. Clinique – A pioneer in fragrance-free makeup and beauty products.
2. Bare Minerals – Makeup created with minerals from the earth.
3. GLO – Professional grade skincare and makeup brand.
4. Tarte – Uses exclusively natural, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free ingredients.

You may see the wording hypoallergenic on some makeup packaging. What that means, basically, is that the product is free from artificial aromas and other ingredients that can irritate the skin. Fragrance adds nothing beneficial to beauty products, only a sensory experience, so some brands choose not to add it to their products.

Also, fragrances aren’t fully regulated so you will find the word “fragrance” on the label but not the actual ingredients that created the scent.

Be aware that when you see the word “unscented” on some products, it doesn’t mean that it is fragrance-free. Unscented means that the product is free of aroma, but it may contain synthetic additives to neutralize the aroma of other ingredients.

Why Choose Fragrance-Free Makeup

First, artificial fragrance is known to be an irritant for some people, who may be so intolerant to some fragrances they can develop skin irritations or even headaches.

Another reason to choose fragrance-free products is that we use so many different beauty products daily: shampoos, creams, makeup, and even perfume. All these different smells can turn into a confusing mixture.
