With the holidays approaching, I'm pretty sure the perfume is on your Christmas list.
It's true that this type of gift pleases everyone.
You can find them at all prices and for all tastes.
On the other hand, I don't know if you know it, but the composition of a perfume is often very chemical...
They are even sometimes toxic for your skin, even dangerous for your health!
And it's not me who says it, but the very serious newspaper Que Choisir.
Since I know this, I've been careful before shopping.
To prevent you and your family from putting toxic products on your skin...
...here is the blacklist of 39 perfumes dangerous to your health that you should never buy. Watch:
A harmful perfume is a perfume that contains substances that are potentially dangerous to health.
And don't think that only cheap perfumes are affected.
Even the biggest brands can contain these toxic substances!
How is it possible ? Well, know one thing:
The ANSM (National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products) classifies perfumes in the cosmetic categories.
Unlike medicines, the ANSM does not authorize the sale of perfumes.
It is the manufacturers who must guarantee that their products present no danger to health...
Clearly, the manufacturers are not even obliged to list the ingredients of their perfume!
All this, in the name of commercial secrecy...
And even if the ANSM can control the products in question at any time, misconduct is very common!
Because an industrial perfume is first made with synthetic products derived from petroleum.
They can therefore be allergenic, and sometimes even carcinogenic.
Benzene, formaldehyde, linalool, cyclohexanol...
All of these not very pleasant substances are found in our perfumes that we put on our skin every day.
Many of these synthetic fragrances contain irritants and endocrine disruptors.
They can cause headaches, nausea and other side effects.
It therefore seemed useful to us to "bring you up to speed" on these various harmful products.

You now know the list of the most harmful perfumes that are among the best sellers in France.
But be aware that this list is far from exhaustive...
There are hundreds of others that are less well known to the general public!
To find out if the perfume you are wearing is safe, type its name directly on the Que Choisir website here.
If you find your perfume in this list, it may be time for a change...
Seeing the list as long as my arm of allergenic perfumes, you may be thinking:
Maybe I'd better not wear perfume at all...
It is true that it can be a solution.
What is needed is first of all to avoid putting it where it can be dangerous.
Because if we spray the perfume in the wrong place, the contaminants can pass into our blood!
Traces of harmful substances have even been found in breast milk. That's telling you.
So to avoid this kind of inconvenience, put in place these few basic rules:
Always apply perfume to clothing rather than skin.
Above all, do not perfume the so-called pulse points (these are the hot spots where you can feel the heart beating).
This is precisely what must be avoided! Because this is where chemicals enter the bloodstream.
It's quite simple not to put perfume on your skin, but it doesn't prevent inhalations, you're going to tell me.
It's true; that's why we can also turn to perfumes based on essential or organic oils.
Initially, perfumes were made with natural derivatives (flowers, fruits, plants).
But as usual, industrial techniques have been there...
To reduce costs, perfumes are increasingly made with synthetic chemical products.
These synthetic molecules, purely artificial,can be real poison for our body.
But luckily, you can keep smelling good naturally and on the cheap.
Because creating your own home fragrances really isn't difficult.
You had never thought of that? Well, check out this easy recipe or this one.
They explain how to smell good without risking health and the environment.
Everything is made from natural products and essential oils.
Finally, also know that organic perfumes do exist.
I don't specifically advertise them, but my wife likes this one for example.
