Alcohol-free perfume: a good option for sensitive skin?

Parfum sans alcool : une bonne option pour les peaux sensibles ?

More and more consumers are turning to gentler alternatives for their fragrance routine, especially for those with sensitive skin. Alcohol-free solutions are therefore emerging as a suitable solution for the needs of sensitive skin.

Alcohol, often used as a solvent in traditional formulations, can sometimes cause discomfort, dryness, or even irritation in some people. Formulas without this ingredient favor aqueous or oily bases, which are less aggressive for the skin barrier.

In addition to being kinder to the skin, these alternatives are also popular in certain cultures or religious contexts. They can be suitable for children or worn in the summer when you want to avoid the drying effects amplified by the sun.

However, it is important to note that the absence of alcohol can alter the fragrance's hold and diffusion. The trail will generally be more discreet and intimate, but often closer to the skin.

Opting for an alcohol-free solution can be a good idea if you have reactive skin or are looking for a gentler formula. Always read the ingredients and test on a small area is the best approach to avoid any adverse reactions.
