Parfum is a catch-all term for an ingredient or more that is used to give aroma to products. Parfum, or fragrance, can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "Parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.

In the US, the alternative name for parfum is 'fragrance'. The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.

For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance. One example is Calendula flower extract. Essential oil ingredients still impart a scent or 'fragrance'.

Depending on the blend, it can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.

Products use parfum often to give products a scent or cover up smells of different ingredients.

The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

It does the job but slowly.
I used to have alot of acne on my back, chest, butt, shoulder, and under thighs. Usually I can identify almost around 15 red spots, big and small, on my back and around 5 red spots on my chest. Now I occasionally get 1, while the old acnes are now gone. Im on my third bottle now, I use two pumps per shower to get the lather without using a loofa. It works but takes time to see results. 5 star for a product that works :). PS - Dont use loofas, they are a scam and a breading ground for acnes.
