35. unscented

Is there a difference between unscented products, and products that are fragrance-free?

Just the Goods uses natural plant-based ingredients that have not been chemically deodorized, so finished products generally smell like the ingredients used to make them such as shea butter, olive oil, alcohol-free witch hazel hydrosol, etc. In some cases (i.e. facial care for oily/combination skin, dry skin, and acne prone skin) scent also comes from essential oils, which have been included to support the efficacy of the product (i.e. tea tree oil offers antibacterial support, chamomile helps to moisturize).

In the case of products with a different scent options, unscented versions are the default then essential oils are added for the sake of creating aromatic variety. Examples of this include body butter and body scrubs. 

Just the Goods is unable to make completely fragrance-free products because all the plant based ingredients used naturally smell like something, rather than being synthetically altered either through deodorization processes, or the inclusion of synthetic masking agents, to smell like "nothing".

The following list of products features items made without essential oils.   

Not sure if an unscented option is right for you? Please be sure to choose a sample size before committing to a full-sized version 🙂 Thank you!
