Fragrance
Ingredients.

Fragrances are naturally all around us and often part of making your daily routine enjoyable. We offer a range of products and fragrances that cater to different preferences, whether you choose a product with a powerful scent, a light background note, or perfume-free variants.

Safety is the first ingredient

Our unique product perfumes are blended with the greatest care and utmost attention to safety.

We exclude over 170 ingredients from our fragrances—more extensive than the list of ingredients banned by the international Fragrance Association (IFRA). Our unique perfumes are blended with the greatest care and utmost attention to safety. We conduct an additional safety assessment of our fragrances and their ingredients.

You can also learn more about the safety behind fragrance ingredients by visiting The Fragrance Conservatory.

More about the fragrance ingredients we use and those we do not

While all our product fragrance ingredients are safe to use, we understand some people want to learn more. If you would like to find the specific fragrance ingredients for a P&G product in the U.S. or Canada, please visit the brand website (search for brands here) or go to SmartLabel®.

We are providing a list of fragrance ingredients we do not use below. You will see that we exclude many common food allergens in our fragrances, including Animal Derived Materials, Egg Derivatives, Milk Derivatives, Gluten, Barley, Rye, Soy Derivatives, Fish or Shellfish. We are constantly innovating our fragrance offerings to give you the best possible product experience, so this list will be updated regularly.
