Why Our Eye Cream is Fragrance Free
We know that lots of us like to have a fragrance in our skincare products and although at Nakin we always keep this minimal and natural, our Eye Cream Complex is completely fragrance free. Most of our natural anti-ageing range contains a mild 100% natural fragrance, which is not overpowering or sensitising, and is free of synthetics. When it comes to an eye cream though it is important to never used a fragranced product, as the skin in this area of our skin is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face.
Apart from the scent that a fragrance offers, there is usually no other benefit for the skin around the eyes, so in our opinion it is always better to fill a product with as much skin loving ingredients as possible.
Using a fragranced eye cream can lead to various adverse effects on the delicate skin around the eyes. This area is particularly sensitive, and fragrances can cause irritation, redness, and allergic reactions in some individuals. Furthermore, the presence of synthetic fragrances can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, potentially leading to dryness and the skin in this area not being in its best health. Instead, opting for a good fragrance-free eye cream formulations ensures that you are treating the skin gently, minimising the risk of irritation while still providing the essential hydration and nutrients it requires. Choosing high quality products specifically designed for the eye area without added fragrances is a vital step in maintaining skin health and preventing unnecessary sensitivity.
Fragrance-free eye creams are also beneficial for those with sensitive skin, which is such a common skin concern, and one of the issues that we hear about a lot from our customers that love Nakin's kind and caring philosophy. Fragrances can cause irritation and reactions for those with sensitive skin, as the eye area is so delicate it makes it more vulnerable. By using fragrance-free eye creams, you eliminate the risk of potential irritants and allergens from fragrances that could not be beneficial.
In addition to being gentler on the delicate skin around the eyes and suitable for sensitive skin types, fragrance-free eye creams are safer to use around the eye area, as fragrance has some controversy around it.
Opting for a fragrance-free eye cream allows you to still benefit from other active ingredients present in the formula without any potential interference from fragrances. Your skin can concentrate on utilising the skin improving ingredients in the product, instead of potential irritation or other issues.
Overall, choosing a good fragrance-free eye cream is a safe and effective way to care for the delicate skin around your eyes. It minimises the risk of adverse reactions while still providing essential nourishment and targeting specific concerns. So next time you are shopping for an eye cream, be sure to check for fragrances on the ingredient list and opt for a fragrance-free option for optimal results.
Additionally, fragrance-free eye creams like ours are often formulated with milder and more natural ingredients compared to their scented counterparts. This makes them a better choice for those of us that prefer clean beauty options, or are trying to avoid harsh chemicals in their skincare routine.
