What to Avoid in fragrance oils

When selecting fragrance oils, it is important to avoid specific components and practices to ensure safety for yourself, your family, and the planet. 

Here's a list of things to avoid in fragrance oils:

### 1. **Phthalates**

   - **Why avoid?** Phthalates are often used to help fragrance last longer, but have been associated with hormone disruption and other health issues. Look for phthalate-free oils.

### 2. **Parabens**

   - **Why avoid?** Parabens are preservatives that can mimic estrogen in the body, for that reason they've been linked to a range of health issues including hormone-related cancers.

### 3. **Synthetic Musks**

   - **Why avoid?** Synthetic musks, such as nitromusks or polycyclic musks, can build up in the environment and in the human body, and have been associated with hormone disruption and other negative health effects.

### 4. **Unknown or Unlisted Ingredients**

   - **Why avoid?** If a product does not fully disclose ingredients, it is best avoided. Transparency is important to know what you are being exposed to.

### 5. **Essential Oils not Considered Safe for Pets or Children**

   - **Why avoid?** Some essential oils that are ingredients in fragrance blends such as tea tree, eucalyptus, and citrus oils could potentially be toxic to pets (especially cats and dogs) or children.

### 6. **Artificial colorants/dyes**

   - **Why avoid?** The synthetic dyes and colorants can cause skin irritation and other negative health effects if you use them in candles or soaps. Buy fragrance oils that are free of any dyes or added colorants.

### 7. **Cheap/low quality oils**

   - **Why avoid?** When oils are low-cost, they may contain chemically harmful fillers, synthetic or unsafe ingredients, or contaminants. Always use oils from a reputable company/brand, and one that lists ingredients in detail, and choose the highest-quality oil you can afford.

### 8. **Allergens**

   - **Why avoid?** Many fragrance oils can contain common allergens such as linalool, limonene, or eugenol. For those with allergies to any of these compounds, checking the ingredients could be very helpful.
