Many perfumes contain only trace amounts of natural essences, but mainly potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals. Many of the chemicals in perfumes are the same chemicals in cigarette smoke.
According to the US National Academy of Sciences, 95% of the chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. They include known toxins capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions.
