Are natural fragrance alternatives better for children than synthetic ones?
While natural fragrance alternatives are often thought to be safer, they aren’t always without risks. Essential oils, a common natural alternative, are highly concentrated and can sometimes cause irritation or even be toxic if used inappropriately. Certain natural oils, like eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree, can be harmful to young children’s respiratory systems. On the other hand, synthetic fragrances may be formulated to reduce allergens, offering a more controlled composition. However, they can also emit VOCs, which may negatively affect air quality. When selecting fragrances for a child-friendly home, choose products labeled as hypoallergenic or pediatric-safe, and use them sparingly.
