In an approach of “transparency”,
It is important to support you by trying to provide as much information as possible regarding the origin of our containers, the manufacturing elements but especially the components of our perfumes ~ Our plurality also manifests itself through allergies that vary depending on sensitivities ~ This is why we invite you to first discover the list of all the allergens present in our perfumes.

CITRIC ACID
Citric acid is one of the main active ingredients in lemon. It is often used to balance the pH (too basic) of cosmetic products.
He is also present in certain bath products (bath bombs, bath pebbles or "magic powders") due to its effervescent properties.
-
ALCOHOL DENAT
This is the INCI name used to describe denatured alcohol. It is quite simply ethanol that has been made unfit for consumption. We can also find the name “alcohol” if the alcohol is not denatured or when the denaturation has been carried out with essential oils.
Alcohol is not a dangerous ingredient, but it remains drying and irritating. In fact, alcohol eliminates the skin's hydrolipid barrier which protects us against external aggressions (drying effect). Our skin becomes more sensitized and can be irritated. It is therefore not recommended for skin or hair suffering from a lack of hydration, as this could worsen the problem. Be aware in any case that manufacturers often counterbalance the unwanted properties of alcohol with judiciously chosen materials or galenics.
-
ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE
Alpha-isomethylionone (or methyl ionone) is a safe synthetic compound frequently used in cosmetics to perfume products by reproducing the sweet, powdery scent of violets. A colorless perfumery ingredient, whose powdery, woody and floral odor is reminiscent of violet or iris.
Discovered by Tiemann in 1893, ionones changed the face of perfumery, representing an alternative to very rare, very expensive or volatile flower essential oils.
Ionones are now used under different forms (notably alpha-isomethyl ionone) in almost all perfumes.This colorless synthetic molecule used in perfumery is one of the 26 allergens regulated by Europe.

AQUA (WATER)
Water is the most used ingredient in cosmetics: 83% of products contain it (percentage established from 50,000 products in the Inci Beauty App).
Since water is of mineral origin, it can never be certified organic.
This is the reason why organic labels, to certify products, authorize fairly low minimums of organic ingredients (10% for Ecocert) on the total of a formula, taking into account that the presence of non-organic water is essential and often the majority in many cases.
The presence of water in perfumes is intended to dissolve other substances.

PERFUME (FRAGRANCE)
A perfume is a odor or more often a more or less persistent odorous composition naturally emitted by a plant, an animal, a mushroom, or a environment.

It can also be the emanation of a natural substance (a flower extract for example) or created or recreated from different aromas, solvents and fixatives intended for cosmetic use or to perfume objects, animals or indoor air. It is then generally made from plant essences and/or synthetic molecules.
The use of perfumes by humans is very old, dating back to ancient times. The notion of perfume today most often refers to an olfactory composition constructed and with a high olfactory concentration.
By misnomer, “perfume” is also used today to designate an eau de toilette, an eau de parfum, a perfume extract or an eau de Cologne.
