Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Traditional Use
Fragrant materials have been used since ancient times in Egypt, Persia, and China using natural plant resins, flowers, and oils. Modern synthetic fragrance compounds were developed in the late 19th century to replicate and stabilize natural scents.
