chemically based fragrances vs. essential oils Login/Join

I have multiple chemical sensitivity, and have significant discomfort with a variety of chemically based fragrance ingredients. Fragrance ingredients are usually not 'flowers' anymore - and often use chemicals used to soften plastics to keep the scent 'volatile', lasting longer and spreading more widely. It is great to have essential oils as an option for fragrance. Sometimes, however, essential oils are distilled or adulterated with chemical solvents or other additives which are also a problem (alas).

It is great that skinbio keeps the options open, with essential oil fragrances and unscented options on many products.

It would also be great if some of the basic products (Follicile Shampoo and Conditioner, body lotion, etc.) would come in a no added fragrance option - without the chemically based fragrance ingredients. And without some of the highly scented/concentrated essential oils like lavender, rosemary, etc., which many people also have some reaction to. This would help not only those who use the products, but those who are exposed to their products all day long.

Is this option for no added fragrance versions of the basic something that skinbio is looking at?
