In Oh,Baby! products we only use organic perfume. In order to understand what organic fragrance stands for and why we find it so important to only use organic perfume, we also need to explain that other kind of perfume: synthetic perfume.
Synthetic perfumes and organic perfumes are two different types of fragrances that vary in their composition and production methods. Here's a comparison of the two:
Ingredients
- **Synthetic Perfume:** Synthetic perfumes are made using synthetic or man-made fragrance compounds. These compounds are often created through chemical processes in laboratories. They can mimic natural scents but are not derived directly from natural sources.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes use natural ingredients derived from plants, flowers, fruits, and other organic sources. These ingredients are typically extracted through methods like steam distillation or cold pressing, and they do not contain synthetic chemicals or additives.
Scent Complexity
- **Synthetic Perfume:** Synthetic perfumes often offer a wide range of complex scents because they can be formulated to include a variety of fragrance molecules not found in nature. Perfumers have more control over the final scent profile in synthetic perfumes.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes derive their scents from natural ingredients, which may limit the complexity of the fragrance. However, many people appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of organic scents.
Sustainability
- **Synthetic Perfume:** The production of synthetic perfumes can have a higher environmental impact due to the energy-intensive processes and chemicals involved in creating synthetic fragrance compounds.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes often have a lower environmental impact because they use natural, sustainably sourced ingredients. Additionally, some organic perfume brands prioritize eco-friendly and cruelty-free practices.
Allergies and Sensitivities
- **Synthetic Perfume:** Synthetic fragrances may contain allergens or sensitizing chemicals that can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in some individuals.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes are generally considered to be less likely to trigger allergies or sensitivities since they use natural ingredients without synthetic additives. However, individual reactions can vary.
Longevity and Projection
- **Synthetic Perfume:** Synthetic perfumes often have better longevity and projection due to the stability of synthetic fragrance compounds.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes may have a lighter scent and shorter longevity compared to synthetic counterparts, although this can vary depending on the specific ingredients used.
Price
- **Synthetic Perfume:** Synthetic perfumes are often more affordable than organic perfumes because the production costs are generally lower.
- **Organic Perfume:** Organic perfumes tend to be more expensive because of the cost of sourcing and processing natural, organic ingredients.
Because of the sensitivities, environmental concerns, and scent preferences it is essential for Oh, Baby! to always choose for an organic 🌱 perfume.
