Product Information

Fragrance, of course, is what Bath and Body Works is known for. They’ve released hundreds of different scents, from the classic W arm Vanilla Sugar to Iced Raspberry Bellini to Twinkling Midnight Sky, and many, many more. This ingredient is a big problem though. Because of what’s called the “ fragrance loophole,” companies are legally allowed to hide about 4,000 different chemicals in their products under the simple umbrella term of “fragrance,”“parfum,” or “eau de toilette.” This is because fragrance formulations are protected as “trade secrets.” Ingredients like methylparaben and butylparaben are also commonly used as preservatives in many Bath and Body Works products. Parabens are known endocrine disruptors, which means that, like phthalates, they can mess with the natural hormone function of one’s body. For this reason, they’re associated with a number of negative health outcomes, including cancer and fertility problems.

Because graduations and anniversaries always sneak up on you. For the recent grad, consider a relaxing, stress-less Aromatherapy body care set. Spoil that special someone with a romantic body care set, think scents like rose or sweet vanilla – champagne (not) optional. This just generally makes things more difficult and confusing for customers. Of course, just because a product’s ingredients are unavailable or difficult to find doesn’t automatically mean that product is toxic, but we believe consumers deserve to know what’s in the products they buy and use without going to a bunch of extra work!
