What in perfume is harmful to the human body

For women who love beauty, using perfume is a way to enhance their feminine charm, and different perfume scents also reflect the different personalities of the users. However, perfume is blended from different materials. The mixture of multiple raw materials may cause discomfort to the human body, and even allergic symptoms in severe cases. Therefore, before using perfume, you also need to understand clearly what elements in the perfume will cause harm to the human body?

It is very harmful to children and women. It should be pointed out that children are more susceptible to the effects of fragrances than adults. Unfortunately, almost all baby products on the market have added fragrance. If parents spray perfume frequently, it will poison the air breathed by their children, causing them to have difficulty concentrating, learning disabilities, and excessive activity. In severe cases, it may even induce convulsions, developmental delays and other hazards. If women use perfume for a long time, the chemical components of the perfume will accumulate in their bodies, which will harm the health of the baby through breast milk during breastfeeding.

1. The fragrance ingredients are suspicious. But few people consider the safety of perfumes and other fragrances, and even fewer know that it takes at least 5,000 chemical ingredients to make fragrances. Each perfume contains more than 600 chemical ingredients. Among these more than 5,000 chemical ingredients, less than 20% have been tested for toxicity, and the results show that they are all toxic and are listed as dangerous goods by many countries. It is not yet known whether other untested ingredients are toxic. If more sophisticated instruments are used, more than 100 ingredients contained in fragrances can be detected in the living room (there are 150 most commonly used chemical ingredients in fragrances), most of which are known to be toxic.

2. Fragrances may be harmful to your health. Studies have shown that the chemicals in fragrances are harmful to your health, especially your skin, lungs and brain. Many people complain of side effects such as urticaria and dermatitis after using fragrances. Fragrances have a great impact on patients with chronic lung diseases, especially asthma. According to statistics, in the United States alone, up to 75% (approximately 9 million patients) of asthma cases are triggered by perfume.

3. Fragrance is related to memory, which means that fragrances have an impact on brain tissue. Such effects are called neurotoxic effects. For example, linalool, a component found in perfumes and other fragrances, can induce symptoms such as low mood, depression, and even life-threatening respiratory diseases. An experiment conducted by the Japanese medical community proved the impact of fragrance on the human brain: the scent of citrus fruits is more effective than most antidepressant drugs. This shows that fragrance has the effect of affecting psychological state and should be classified as psychotropic drugs like diazepam, amitriptyline hydrochloride and other drugs.
