Benzene, toluene, xylenes, and methanol are some of the common petrochemicals used in these aromatic concoctions. It is estimated that 95% of the synthetic fragrances on the market today are derived from petroleum by-products. Scent is protected by the law as a trade secret ... and are not required to list the concoction of chemicals on the product label. They are only required to list the term fragrance. Petrochemicals are like many of the other ingredients in synthetic fragrance in that they build in the body over time. Petroleum by-products are used in pesticides, plastics, detergents, soaps, and much more. Repeated exposure has been linked to endocrine disruption and several types of cancer.
