Fragrance is everywhere—from your shampoo to your laundry detergent to the lotion you picked up at the store. But here’s the not-so-pretty truth: most conventional fragrances are loaded with hidden chemicals, and many of them can be harmful to your health.
At Alma Naturals, we believe that self-care shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being. That’s why we use only safe, non-toxic, phthalate-free scents in all our products. Because when it comes to your skin, your body, and your family—you deserve transparency and trust.
What Are Phthalates (And Why Are They a Problem)?
Phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) are a group of chemicals commonly used in synthetic fragrances to make the scent last longer. They're found in everything from perfumes and body sprays to air fresheners and candles.
But here’s the problem: phthalates are endocrine disruptors. That means they can interfere with your hormones—and not in a good way.
Studies have linked phthalate exposure to:
Hormonal imbalances
Reproductive issues (in both men and women)
Increased risk of breast cancer
Developmental problems in children
Asthma and respiratory irritation
And the worst part? Companies aren’t even required to list phthalates on the label. They often hide behind the single word: “fragrance.”
“Fragrance” Can Be a Dirty Word
When you see “fragrance” or “parfum” listed on a label, it can legally represent a mix of hundreds of chemicals—many of which have never been tested for safety. These mystery blends can include:
Phthalates
Parabens
Synthetic musks
Known allergens and irritants
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
These hidden ingredients can cause headaches, skin reactions, hormone disruption, and more—especially with repeated exposure.
