11 Best Natural Perfumes Made With Organic Ingredients

Natural & Nontoxic Fragrances

According to the Environmental Working Group, most scents in perfumes are synthesized from the fragrance industry's 3,100 stock chemical ingredients, or they are derived from petroleum. Since our skin absorbs nearly 60 percent of what we put onto it, the hidden chemicals in perfumes can be irritating or even detrimental to our long-term health.

On the other hand, nontoxic perfumes prioritize natural materials (and use only safe synthetics). We’ve found 11 nontoxic perfume brands that span size, price, and scent, many of which offer sample sizes at a discounted price. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious roll-on or refreshing spray, you can test and try to see what works best for you!

And if you want to go green with your whole beauty routine, check out these beauty brands that offer natural and organic makeup your skin will love.
