The DANGERS of delightful smells from a stinky industry

Some of the non-listed ingredients on YOUR favorite Fragrances 

The oils in the gas stations are often synthetic oils that mimic the “designer” oils. They are not essential oils.

These type are full of synthetic chemical aromas. PESTICIDE Chemicals that they rename “Lick Me All Over” or “Midnight Musk” or evening the “White Ambars” are being synthesized to be phony concoctions that use chemicals that should never hit your nose.

All those sweet smells in the bottles in Macy’s, Tiffany’s and the like are "synthetic chemicals" that people can kill themselves and bugs with.

THE CHEMICAL SOUPS YOU KEEP SPRAYING ARE ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS!

btw it does not matter if it has not been applied directly to your skin.

Here is a list of chemicals that they don't have to tell you is in the smells you covet.

Acetaldehyde: Acetaldehyde adversely affects kidneys and the reproductive, nervous and respiratory systems. This chemical is listed as known or suspected to cause cancer in California’s Proposition 65. Both the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the National Toxicology Program classify acetaldehyde as potentially carcinogenic to humans.

Benzophenone: Benzophenone is linked to endocrine disruption and organ system toxicity, and experimental studies suggest benzophenone may lead to several kinds of tumors. Derivatives of benzophenone, such as benzophenone-1 (BP-1) and oxybenzone (BP-3), are potential endocrine disruptors. Benzophenone is listed as a possible human carcinogen under California’s Proposition 65.

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA): Studies demonstrating BHA’s potential to disrupt endocrine functioning led the European Commission on Endocrine Disruption to list BHA as a Category 1 priority substance. This chemical is also listed as a carcinogen on California’s Proposition 65.

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT): BHT irritates the eyes and skin and may adversely affect one’s growth rate and liver. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has determined that there is moderate evidence that BHT is a human respiratory irritant.

Benzyl Salicylate: Benzyl salicylate is a fragrance allergen and a potential endocrine disruptor. The European Union restricts its use and requires that it is listed on product labels.

Benzyl Benzoate: benzyl benzoate is a skin and eye irritant and may severely irritate, burn and sting the genitalia and scalp. The European Union requires that it is listed individually on products and restricts quantity use.

Butoxyethanol: Butoxyethanol is a skin, eye, nose and throat irritant. Exposure can lead to blood in the urine, vomiting and nausea with long-term damage to the kidneys, liver, lymphoid system, nervous system, respiratory system and blood cells. Butoxyethanol is also a reproductive toxicant. The International Agency for Research on Cancer confirms the carcinogenicity of butoxyethanol in experimental animals. Both the European Union and Canada restrict butoxyethanol in consumer products.

Butylphenyl methylpropional: Also known by its brand name Lilial, butylphenyl methylpropionale is a scent chemical restricted in the European Union. Its potential for dermal sensitization motivated the International Fragrance Association to also restrict its use in fragrance products.

Chloromethane (methyl chloride): Chloromethane can have both acute and chronic effects on the nervous system and also adversely impacts the liver, kidneys and skin. It is listed under California’s Proposition 65 as a developmental toxicant.

Dichloromethane (methylene chloride): Dichloromethane is linked to mammary gland tumors in experimental animals and may be an occupational carcinogen. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen according to the National Toxicology Program and possibly carcinogenic to humans according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Its use in fragrance products is restricted by the European Commission and prohibited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Diethyl phthalate (DEP): DEP is an irritant of eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. It is a potential endocrine disruptor and has been linked to reproductive and nervous system toxicity.
