Fragrance-Free vs Unscented: What Is the Difference?

Products described as fragrance-free and unscented may be presented differently, so the ingredient information is important.

WHAT THE WORD SUGGESTS

Fragrance-free generally signals that no fragrance has been added for scent, while unscented may simply describe a low-odour result. The words can be used differently by suppliers.

02 / THE DETAILS

WHAT IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE

A lack of noticeable smell does not guarantee the absence of ingredients capable of causing sensitivity. Neither term replaces an ingredient list.

HOW TO CHOOSE

If you need to avoid particular substances, check the full product information and consult a qualified professional when appropriate.

THE FINER DETAIL

Terms on cosmetic packaging deserve careful attention. Broad claims are not a substitute for specific, substantiated information about the finished product. The Signature Five are currently presented as design concepts; finished fragrance formula details and availability are confirmed separately.
