What Does Fragrance Free Actually Mean on a Skincare Label?

No added perfume, natural or synthetic. Different from unscented, which can mean a masking scent was added to hide the smell of the formula.

On the label

Check the list for parfum, fragrance, essential oils and terms like linalool or limonene. Fragrance free products should have none.

What it does not mean

It does not mean the product has no smell. Raw ingredients smell of something; fragrance free means nothing was added to change that.
