Radical Fragrance Transparency. This means the fragrance ingredients are fully disclosed to you (not hidden behind the word "fragrance", which is the norm). All ingredients are included in the section above.
This fragrance is comprised of (Click on a fragrance category for more info):
Essential Oils
Essential OilsAuthentic essential oils are physically extracted by steam or expression (cold pressing) of the skin of the fruit. Essential oils have not been chemically altered (via reaction, solvent extraction) from their natural state. |
Certified Organic Fragrance
Certified Organic FragranceA blend of essential oils (see above) derived from plants that are grown in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program. |
Natural Fragrance
Natural FragranceNatural fragrances are mixtures of aromatic raw materials. As opposed to a whole essential oil found in a plant, these chemicals are physically isolated from natural compounds, then blended together to create a scent. If only natural isolates are used, companies can declare the scent “natural.” |
Naturally-Derived Fragrance
Naturally-Derived FragranceFragrance ingredients that have been extracted using solvents (alcohol, petrochemicals, vegetable oils), or extracted by fermentation, or ingredients which may have a natural component but have been significantly processed. |
Synthetic Fragrance
Unfragranced/UnscentedIngredients which are new molecules, made in a laboratory. The majority of synthetic constituent ingredients are from petroleum byproducts. Synthetic “nature-identical” ingredients fall into this category as well. Credo allows synthetic fragrances as long as there are no Dirty List components. |

What's Behind "Fragrance"?

All products are cruelty-free and formulated without ingredients on The Dirty List™️. At Credo, "clean" goes even deeper. Learn more.
