When You Want Clean Not Perfumed Shampoo
Added fragrance can linger on hair, compete with other products, or feel like one more unnecessary part of the routine.
Some shoppers choose fragrance free shampoo because they are sensitive to scent. Others want a more neutral family product, are navigating preferences, or simply do not want their shampoo to smell like perfume.
Whatever your reason, you deserve to know exactly what is and is your bottle of shampoo.
Fragrance-Free Versus Unscented
“Fragrance-free” generally means no fragrance has been intentionally added.
“Unscented” may simply mean the finished product has no noticeable scent. Some products marketed as unscented may use ingredients intended to mask other odors.
