What defines a fragrance-free product?

A fragrance-free product is defined as one that contains no synthetic or natural fragrance. This means that regardless of the source, whether a chemical compound typically used for scent or an essential oil that has a natural aroma, such products intentionally avoid any additives that could impart a scent. The purpose of such products is to be suitable for individuals who may have sensitivities or allergies to fragrances, which can lead to skin irritation or other adverse reactions.

This definition aligns with consumer expectations and regulatory standards for fragrance-free labeling, as the absence of both synthetic and natural scents indicates a commitment to minimizing potential irritants. Options suggesting that a fragrance-free product contains scents, either in the form of natural scents or essential oils, contradict the fundamental classification of fragrance-free. Additionally, mentioning characteristics related to skin type, such as being designed for dry skin, does not pertain specifically to the fragrance content of a product.
