Fragrance-Free Baby Products That Still Smell Amazing: Here’s How We Do It

Cover Image 1

 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

1- Q: Are Essential Oils safe for newborns?

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.

2- Q: Why does my fragrance-free lotion still have a scent?

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.
