“Fragrance-free” label popular ho gaya hai, aur log confuse ho jaate hain – kya har fragrance product automatically harmful hai? Simple answer: nahi, but sensitive skin walon ke liye fragrance kabhi-kabhi trigger ban sakta hai.
Fragrance ka role mainly sensorial hota hai – product ka smell pleasant banata hai. Kayi log retinol ya medicated creams ka thoda sa scent prefer karte hain, warna routine boring ya “medicine jaisa” lagta hai. Agar tumhari skin generally chill hai, koi reaction history nahi, to light fragrance waale products often theek chal jaate hain.
Lekin agar tumko frequently redness, burning, itching, eye-watering, ya rash type reaction hota hai, specially scented creams/lotions se, to fragrance-free options try karna wise step hai. Eczema, rosacea, ya compromised barrier wale log bhi fragrance avoid karke safer side pe rehte hain.
“Unscented” ka matlab hamesha fragrance-free nahi hota; kabhi-kabhi strong base smell ko hide karne ke liye masking fragrance use ki jaati hai. Ingredient list me “parfum”, “fragrance” ya individual essential oils (like strong citrus, lavender etc.) search karna helpful hota hai.
Bottom line: fragrance default villain nahi, but sab ke skin threshold alag hote hain. Agar doubt ho, face ke products me fragrance kam rakho, body lotions me thoda leeway rakhna logon ko manageable lagta hai.
