šŸ•Æļø What ā€˜Fragrance’ on a Label Actually Means (and Why Transparency Matters)

If you’ve ever flipped over a candle, room spray, or skincare product and seen the wordĀ ā€œfragranceā€ on the label, you’re not alone—and you might be surprised to learn what that word actually means.

ā€œFragranceā€ might sound harmless, even luxurious, but here’s the catch: in the U.S., it’s considered a trade secret. That means companies aren’t required to disclose what’s actually inside that one tiny word—and it can represent dozens (sometimes hundreds) of individual chemicals, including known endocrine disruptors like phthalates or parabens.


šŸ” Why That Matters for Your Health & Home

Many of the chemicals hidden under the label ā€œfragranceā€ have been linked to:

  • Hormone disruption (especially phthalates)

  • Respiratory irritation

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Skin sensitivity

For those looking to reduce exposure to toxic ingredients, synthetic fragrance is one of the most common (and avoidable) culprits found in everyday home and body products.


šŸ•Æļø How Foxeur Does Fragrance Differently

At Foxeur, we believe that what you bring into your home should be beautiful, intentional, and safe. That’s why we choose high-quality fragrance oils infused with natural essential oils—and we never use ingredients linked to health concerns.

You’ll never find:

  • āŒ Phthalates

  • āŒ Parabens

  • āŒ Formaldehyde releasers

  • āŒ Endocrine disruptors

  • āŒ Carcinogens or reproductive toxins

Instead, we use carefully curated, clean blends that offer elegant, elevated aroma without compromising your health or the air you breathe.


šŸ’” Why Transparency Is a Core Value

We don’t believe in hiding behind vague terms. You deserve to know what’s in your products—and why it was chosen. Transparency builds trust, and we’re proud to make candles that are as clean as they are comforting.
