Daily grooming products often contain hidden chemicals under the term "fragrance," posing serious health risks. While they may smell pleasant, these fragrances are complex chemical mixtures, often including allergens, hormone disruptors, and even carcinogens. Exposure to such chemicals can lead to respiratory issues, hormonal imbalances, and skin irritation.

Lack of Transparency in Synthetic Fragrances
The term “fragrance” can legally include up to 4,000 undisclosed chemicals, often hidden from consumers for trade protection. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for consumers to make informed choices about their personal care products, leaving them unknowingly exposed to potentially harmful substances.

We believe you deserve skincare without hidden risks. Our products are crafted without synthetic fragrances or perfumes, which can contain chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, and hormone disruption. Beyond health risks, synthetic fragrances also pollute water and harm ecosystems, and minimal regulation allows these chemicals to slip into products without consumer awareness.

OSOSOP's choice: essential oils
Instead of synthetic fragrances, OSOSOP uses essential oils, natural extracts from plants that not only provide a pleasant scent but also offer therapeutic benefits. Essential oils are free from harmful chemicals and often have calming, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Our commitment is to provide products that are as beneficial for you as they are safe for the environment.

We design skincare that cares for both you and the planet. Our products use only natural ingredients, and our Digital Product Passports enable full transparency, allowing you to scan a QR code to see every ingredient, ensuring there are no hidden chemicals.

Our promise to you

Transparency: We disclose every ingredient in our products.
Safety: Only safe, natural ingredients go into our formulas.
