Why cosmetics «fragrance free» has the flavor?
 Cosmetics and perfume fragrance, usually looking for women with sensitive skin or allergic reactions to fragrances. But buying a new product labeled «fragrance free», disappointed: the flavor is still there. Why is that?

In such a "bait" as a priest and one of our journalists. She bought abroad (vacationing in the UK) a means for the body Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash, it attracted the label on the package: «unscented», which means "no smell".

However, the journalist made a mistake. I do not read the list of ingredients in the store means. And it was necessary.

When our heroine to try this wonderful product, I realized that the vehicle was not "odorless", it has a light fragrance. Why did it happen? Our reporter checked the ingredient list on the product and see the list of «fragrance» (flavor). What does this mean?

Know you that products labeled «unscented» and «fragrance free» (which means "unscented" or "fragrance free") may be flavor. This fragrance is called camouflage, it is intended to drown out the natural flavor of other ingredients which do not always have a good nose for the smell. Among masking flavors used mainly essential oils (e.g., rose oil or lavender). And the purpose of these additives - to improve the feel of the product.

It turns out a product labeled "unscented" can smell the roses, because it contains rose oil. And this is not always the rose oil only performs the role of masking the flavor, because rose oil more valuable, and their antioxidant properties.

And, of course, is to be careful when buying cosmetics, if you are allergic to popular essential oils are used as a masking fragrance.
