Fragrance And Perfume

Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Natural Perfume with Skin-Friendly & Non-Staining Properties

You're in luck! There are many great vegan, cruelty-free, and natural perfume and fragrance options available. Here's a breakdown of what to consider:

• Vegan vs. Natural: Vegan perfumes avoid any animal-derived ingredients, such as musk, honey, beeswax, and some forms of alcohol. Natural perfumes use essential oils and other naturally-derived ingredients, but they may not always be vegan.
• Natural vs. Synthetic: Natural perfumes use ingredients derived from plants, while synthetic perfumes use man-made ingredients. Both types of fragrances can be vegan and cruelty-free.

Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a natural perfume:

• Fragrance potency: Natural perfumes typically don't last as long as traditional perfumes because essential oils tend to evaporate more quickly. You may need to reapply throughout the day.
• Skin sensitivity: Because natural perfumes are made with concentrated plant extracts, they may irritate some people's skin. It's always a good idea to do a patch test before applying a new perfume liberally.

At MijhoIndia, you'll find great brands to get you started on your natural perfume journey:

• Essential oil roll-ons: Many companies sell essential oil roll-ons that you can apply to your pulse points. Look for brands that use organic essential oils.
• Solid perfumes: Solid perfumes are a great way to get a long-lasting natural fragrance. They are typically made with beeswax or vegetable wax, but there are also vegan options available.
• Eau de toilettes: These are lighter fragrances that typically contain a lower concentration of essential oils.

Solid Perfumes (with plant-based wax)

These are a great choice as they're often concentrated and long-lasting. Look for brands that use plant-based waxes like candelilla or soy wax instead of beeswax for a vegan option. Solid perfumes tend to be gentler on the skin than liquid fragrances due to the lack of alcohol. Since they're applied directly, they're less likely to stain clothes compared to sprays.

Essential Oil Roll-Ons (diluted in carrier oils)

Essential oils diluted in carrier oils like jojoba or almond oil offer a natural and customizable fragrance experience. Choose calming options like lavender or mood-boosting citrus scents. Select a carrier oil suitable for your skin type to minimize irritation. Dabbed application minimizes staining risks.

Here are some additional tips

• Look for Single Notes or Blends with Skin-Friendly Ingredients: Opt for perfumes made with essential oils known for being gentle, like chamomile, rose, or sandalwood. Avoid citrus oils on sun-exposed areas as they can cause sensitivity.
• Patch Test Before Applying Liberally: Always do a patch test on your inner wrist before using a new natural perfume, especially if you have sensitive skin.
