Our approach to scent
Lia Organics makes hair and skin-care formulas without synthetic fragrance. We choose this approach as part of the brand we want to build, and we want you to understand exactly what it tells you when you shop.
Some of our formulas contain aromatic botanicals, including essential oils. Those ingredients can give a product a scent. A product made without synthetic fragrance can therefore still smell of the ingredients inside it.
Read beyond the phrase on the front
The ingredient list is the useful next stop. For example, our Rosemary Tonic lists rosemary hydrosol, fresh rosemary and rosemary essential oil alongside its other ingredients. That is more specific information than a broad description of the scent.
Read the complete list for the product you are considering. Do not assume that every product from the same brand has the same formula, or that the scent of a product tells you everything that is in it.
If you are comparing two products, put their ingredient lists side by side. Look for the particular ingredients you want to understand, then ask a specific question: Does this contain an essential oil? Which botanical ingredient gives this formula its scent? Is this the current list for the bottle I am buying?
Natural ingredients deserve the same care
A botanical source does not guarantee that an ingredient will suit every person. The FDA notes that some plant-derived ingredients can irritate skin or cause allergic reactions. Our choice to avoid synthetic fragrance is not a claim that every synthetic ingredient is unsafe, or that every natural ingredient is suitable for everyone.
If you know you react to a particular ingredient, check for it in the complete formula. If you have a diagnosed allergy or are unsure what you need to avoid, ask your clinician for guidance rather than choosing on a label phrase alone.
How to choose with more confidence
Start with the product’s role in your routine. Then read its directions and complete ingredient list. Check the actual bottle when it arrives, and keep the label available for future reference.
If a detail is missing or unclear, send us the product name and your question at contact@liaorganics.com. You should be able to ask about what you are putting on your hair or skin without needing to decode marketing language.
Our aim is to make that conversation easier. Clear information helps you make a choice that fits your own preferences and needs.
