What can a fragrance label tell me?
We only use an explicit verified fragrance statement as a filter. A product called “unscented” or a description that never mentions perfume is not enough for us to infer absence.
Why the words differ
'Fragrance-free' should mean no fragrance ingredients were added. 'Unscented' can simply mean the product does not smell of much, sometimes because a masking ingredient was used. A product page that never mentions perfume tells you nothing either way.
How we record it
We only mark a product as having no fragrance when the brand states it explicitly for that version. Everything else stays 'not confirmed'. That is honest information, not a gap in the catalogue: it tells you what to check on the label yourself.
If fragrance matters to you
Read the current ingredient list on the exact product you are buying, because formulas and regional versions change. And remember that even a confirmed fragrance-free product is not a guarantee that it will suit your skin.
Try this
- Look for an explicit statement rather than a missing word.
- Check the exact market version.
- Treat an unknown field as a question to investigate.
A common mistake
Silence in marketing copy should not become a false “fragrance-free” badge.
