Why Avoid "Fragrance"? // 為什麼要避免“香精”?

Posted by Ivy Leung on

At Soapnut Republic we list every specific ingredient on our labels, and we only use pure essential oils and other natural ingredients to fragrance our products. Our oils smell amazing, and they deliver antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial benefits that other brands only achieve with toxic chemicals .

在Soapnut Republic,我們在標籤上詳細列出了每種特定成分,並且我們僅使用純精油和其他天然成分為我們的產品增添香氣。我們使用的精油不僅好聞,還具有抗菌的功效,而其他許多品牌則不得不使用有毒化學物質才能達到。 

 

Many other companies simply use the word “fragrance” to describe the concoction of toxic chemicals they use to make their products smell better. A single scent may contain anywhere from 50 to 300 distinct chemicals that are not listed on their labels.

許多其他公司只是使用“香精”一詞來描述他們用來使產品聞起來更好的有毒化學物質的混合物。單一氣味就可能包含50至300種標籤上未列出的獨特化學物質。

Artificial fragrances are cheaper to use than essential oils, but the side-effects can be costly for consumers’ health.

人造香料的使用要比精油便宜,但副作用對消費者的健康而言可能是昂貴的。

A landmark report released by US-based Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) in 2018, exposed the presence of harmful fragrance chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruption, reproductive harm, and respiratory toxicity that did not appear on the product labels.

總部位於美國的乳腺癌預防合作夥伴(BCPP)在2018年發布了具有里程碑意義的報告,該報告暴露了產品標籤上未出現的與癌症、激素破壞、生殖傷害和呼吸道毒性有關的有害香料化學物質的存在。

 

BCPP found that one quarter of the 338 fragrance ingredients they found in both personal care and cleaning products were linked to adverse, chronic health effects.

BCPP發現,他們在個人護理和清潔產品中發現的338種香料成分中有四分之一與不良的慢性健康影響有關。

They also revealed that products marketed as “fragrance free” or “unscented” may contain masking fragrances. These are additional ingredients added to hide the odour of a formula, which are not always listed on product labels.

他們還透露,以“無香精”或“無香”銷售的產品可能也含有掩蓋香料。這些是添加附加成分以掩蓋配方氣味的成分,而該類成分並不總是被列在產品標籤上。

At Soapnut Republic we have nothing to hide. We provide full product ingredient listings on our website: www.soapnutrepublichk.com
