What this filters

No added fragrance on the label, and none of the common essential oils we detect. Our essential-oil list is fixed, so it can miss an unusual botanical.

Our process & standards

  • Every product here was researched against manufacturer, regulatory, and retailer sources, with the ingredient list captured as printed.
  • We use sources in that order: the manufacturer first, then regulatory records, then retailers. A claim only counts as the brand’s when the brand makes it.
  • Formula readings come from that ingredient list through a fixed set of rules, the same ones the consultation uses to match products to people.
  • Cost per ounce is computed from dated price observations and compared only against products of the same type and size class.
  • We sell nothing here. Nothing on these pages is paid placement, and no brand can buy a position, a badge, or a chip.
