Our fragrance promise

Every Elurelia product tells you its fragrance status on the label, on the product page, and in the same words each time. There are only two: fragrance free or lightly scented.

We do this because "unscented" is not a regulated term. A product can be marketed as unscented and still contain a masking fragrance whose job is to cover the smell of the raw ingredients. If your skin reacts to fragrance, that product will still cause a reaction, and nothing on the packaging will have warned you.

What fragrance free means here

No parfum. No essential oils. No masking scent of any kind. If a product carries this label, nothing was added to it for the way it smells. You may still notice a faint smell — that is the formula itself, and it fades within a minute on skin.

What lightly scented means here

The product contains parfum, and we say so. Where EU rules require individual allergens to be declared — linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, coumarin — you will find them named on the ingredient list rather than hidden inside the word "parfum".

Some of our lightly scented products carry "sensitive" in their name. That name refers to the gentleness of the base formula, not to the absence of fragrance. We would rather be awkwardly precise about that than let the name imply something the ingredient list contradicts.

Which to choose

If your skin is currently reactive, or you are rebuilding a damaged barrier, choose fragrance free and stay there until things settle. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of contact reactions in skincare, and a night cream in particular sits on your skin for eight uninterrupted hours.

If your skin tolerates fragrance, the lightly scented products are not a compromise — they are simply formulated differently.

Every product page carries a Scent profile section. It is never hidden behind a click, and it never uses a word we have not defined here.
