Where this comes up
The notes BeautySignal puts beside this ingredient when it is on a label.
- Contains essential oils
This product contains plant-derived essential oils, which carry their own naturally occurring fragrance components.
Why we mention it
Essential oils are often chosen as a "natural" alternative to fragrance, but they contain fragrance compounds themselves, so people avoiding fragrance usually want to know.
What we don't know
