Personal collection perfumes can contain a variety of ingredients, some of which may have negative long-term health effects. Fragrance or Parfum is a common ingredient in personal care products, including perfumes, and is an umbrella term that refers to all the compounds and chemicals that comprise a product’s scent. Companies are not required to disclose the individual fragrance elements as the fragrance “blend” is considered proprietary information. While most fragrance chemicals are not disclosed, some are linked to serious health problems such as cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies, and sensitivities.

If you are concerned about the ingredients in your personal care products, there are many beauty brands to choose from that do not use Fragrance and disclose every aspect of their product’s ingredients. The European Union has also published a list of perfumery materials that must not form part of cosmetic products.

Creating Perfume is a supplier of raw materials for fragrance production.
