In our reference data, Fragrance Free is a fragrance ingredient.
'Fragrance Free' is not an ingredient but a labeling claim indicating that no fragrance compounds have been added to a product. It is used to reduce the risk of fragrance-related skin reactions, though products may still contain other potentially irritating substances.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Allergic contact dermatitis from masking fragrances | Rare | Some 'fragrance free' products may contain trace fragrance ingredients used to mask base odors, which can occasionally trigger reactions. |
| Irritation from other formulation components | Uncommon | Reactions are not from the absence of fragrance but from other ingredients like preservatives or surfactants present in the product. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
