My gynecologist also advised me to choose fragrance-free feminine wash. It seems that healthy products require that they should be fragrance-free. My problem is this what will happen if my favorite perfume becomes fragrance-free? Perfumes aren’t perfumes without any smell, scent or fragrances. We can’t deny the fact that organic ingredients are more fragrant than the synthetic ones. Organic ingredients however are very expensive. It’s like extracting a milliliter of oil from a ton of scented flower petals. It’s very impractical to spend too much during production.

My only concern about these products is price. It seems to me that, too often, in order to be environmentally friendly and organic, you must pay a much higher price. Whole Foods is a good example. Their products are always much more expensive than those found in regular grocery stores. There are several problems with this, but the most important is that only the wealthy can truly afford to live this healthier lifestyle. Will there ever come a day when safer, chemical-free products will be as affordable as riskier ones?

It seems like slapping your name on a scent line is all the rage these days. Paris has one. Britney has one. Nicole Richie’s is coming out. I know a lot of celebrities who promote the kinds of causes that lie behind the chemical-less movement in perfume – banning animal testing and promoting natural ingredients, for instance – but I haven’t heard of any who have tried to get involved specifically with any particular line of products. It seems like to me there’s a great potential for marketing to this niche. So many people out there would like to see more products with fewer chemicals. People are beginning to realize that, if it’s bad in your food, it’s probably bad to put on your skin too.
