Fragrance-Free Baby Products That Still Smell Amazing: Here’s How We Do It
 Parents often assume that for a product to smell nice, it must include artificial fragrances. At SALMA Baby, we challenge that notion. We believe your baby’s skincare can be fragrance-free and still smell naturally delightful, using only safe, skin-loving ingredients.
Why Avoid Artificial Fragrances?
Artificial fragrances often contain phthalates and other chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin, especially a baby’s. For babies under 6 months, dermatologists recommend completely avoiding synthetic scents. Even natural essential oils can sometimes trigger allergies.
How We Create Subtle, Natural Scents
We focus on:
- Botanical Waters like rosewater and chamomile hydrosol which naturally carry mild, pleasant aromas.
- Cold-Pressed Oils such as coconut, jojoba, and sweet almond oil, which give off clean, gentle, natural scents.
- Herbal Extracts like calendula or oat that smell earthy and comforting.
Together, these ingredients create a soft, non-intrusive scent that feels fresh and soothing, without any perfume
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Only in very limited circumstances. Essential oils like chamomile and lavender can be used in very small dilutions for babies older than 3 months, but we generally avoid them entirely in our newborn range to ensure maximum safety.
A: That scent likely comes from the natural ingredients themselves—not from added fragrance. Oils, hydrosols, and herbal extracts all have their own subtle aroma.
