Did you know that perfume makers can opt NOT to list all the ingredients in their perfume? So you may not know what lurks inside your pretty little bottle.
Typically, popular perfumes contain only TRACE amounts of natural essences, alongside a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals and animal parts, such as animal excretions, ambergris (a pathological growth in sperm whales' stomachs and intestines) or extracts from certain diced glands from the genital areas of slain musk deer.
You can read about the dangers of regular synthetic perfumes and their toxins here in Scientific American and Women's Voices Magazine, and you'll learn more about certain "icky" ingredients in perfumes in this article.
One has to wonder: Were humans meant to be inhaling such questionable ingredients, alongside toxic fixatives and preservative chemicals, all day long? Is there a better option for perfume-lovers?
All-natural perfumes create pleasure through nature's magnificent scents rather than through synthetic, petroleum-based 'fragrance' chemicals that may actually damage your health.
All-natural, organic perfumes offer:
* Profound, uplifting scents that can have therapeutic effects upon your moods
* Toxin-free ingredients that are safe, non-irritating, and don't harm animals.
* More pleasure to those around you who may be sensitive to the fixatives and chemicals in your perfume (but who won't tell you they dislike your chemical-scent).

Organic ingredients are good for your skin AND good for our Earth. Using scented skincare and perfumes that are made primarily of organic ingredients (and made without toxic chemical additives) ensures that your body is cared for as nature intended.
"I keep this lovely fragrance in my purse and use it during the day. When I'm stressed at work I like to use a little, take some deep breaths, and relax for a bit. It really helps. The bottle is perfectly purse-size."

FRANKINCENSE & LAVENDER
"This has a really unique, beautiful light scent that is so easy to wear. It's not just regular rose, it has a depth to it because of the sandalwood I think, or maybe it's a special rose. Love this."
~ Nora
