Most scented products simply list “fragrance” on the ingredient list, but what does that mean exactly? Artificial fragrance can consist of tens or hundreds of different ingredients, all of which you’re adding to your soaking experience if you’re not using natural bath essential oils. At Better Bath Better Body, we only use 100% pure essential oils for maximum aromatherapy benefits.
What Is Artificial Fragrance?
Artificial fragrance can be many different things. As defined by the FDA, fragrance is a combination of chemicals that provides a product with its distinct scent. This could mean solvents, stabilizers, dyes, preservatives and more, many of which could be harmful or irritating.
According to the International Fragrance Association, any combination of more than 3,000 chemicals can be used in typical artificial fragrance compounds.
Why Use Essential Oils?
Natural fragrances are naturally extracted, and in the case of bath essential oils their ingredients are highly limited. When your bath products are scented with lavender essential oil, for instance, you know that only that ingredient is going into the product. Lavender is a safe, natural, and beneficial scent without unnecessary additives, dyes, preservatives, or other potentially tricky ingredients.
Essential oils are typically easier and more enjoyable for those who may have adverse reactions to artificial fragrances. It’s not rare for artificial fragrances to overload the senses and limit one’s actual ability to relax, which is not commonly the case with natural bath essential oils. When used in aromatherapy, essential oils can provide a soothing, calming, relaxing, and invigorating effect that artificial fragrances simply cannot.

With bath essential oils one can have a soak they can truly feel good about. Soaking for relaxation is made simple with a few all-natural bath essential oil soaks:
