Reduces Irritation: Fragrances, whether synthetic or natural, can trigger irritation such as redness and inflammation. Hormonal skin is known to experience increased sensitivity due to shifts in estrogen or progesterone, therefore making it more prone to these reactions.
Prevents Inflammation: Many fragrances contain compounds that can cause skin inflammation, especially in those already dealing with hormonal imbalances. This can worsen common skin issues like breakouts, rosacea, or eczema, which are often aggravated by hormonal shifts.
Supports Skin Barrier Function: Hormonal imbalances can weaken the skins protective barrier, leaving it more vulnerable to external stressors. Fragrance can further compromise this barrier, leading to increased moisture loss, dehydration, and a higher chance of breakouts, dryness, or sensitivity. Non fragrance products will allow the skin to heal and maintain its barrier without additional stress.
Reduces Risk of Breakouts: Hormonal breakouts often appear due to clogged pores or excess oil production. Some fragrances can irritate the skin and worsen the symptoms or cause reactions that contribute to breakouts. Using fragrance-free products helps avoid this risk.
Endocrine Disruption: Some synthetic fragrances contain hormone-disrupting chemicals known as endocrine disruptors (like phthalates). These chemicals can potentially interfere with the body’s natural hormone production or mimic hormones, further compounding skin issues and exacerbating hormonal imbalances.
