Aroma
What Aroma is & what it does
Aroma is the INCI term for a fragrance or flavor component added to a cosmetic product, equivalent to the labeling word used outside the United States. It is included to give a product a pleasant scent and represents a blend of fragrance materials rather than a single compound. Because the exact composition is not disclosed, people with fragrance sensitivities sometimes prefer to avoid it.
What does Aroma do in skincare?
Aroma is the labeling term for the fragrance or flavor added to a product to give it a pleasant scent. It is an aesthetic ingredient and does not provide a skincare benefit on its own. It usually represents a blend of several fragrance materials.
Is Aroma safe?
Fragrance components labeled as Aroma are generally considered safe at the levels used in cosmetics, though fragrance is one of the more common sources of skin sensitivity. People with fragrance allergies or reactive skin may prefer fragrance-free options. A patch test is advisable if you are prone to reactions.
Is Aroma natural or synthetic?
Aroma can be made from natural extracts, synthetic fragrance materials, or a combination of both, and the label alone does not specify which. The exact composition is usually proprietary. If origin matters to you, contacting the brand is the best way to find out.
