In an age where body sprays promise to turn teenage boys into babe magnets and Celine Dion is the number one perfumer in the world it’s sometimes tough to breathe. For those of us with a sensitive snout (or lungs) it’s painful, sometimes even debilitating to deal with all these (mostly artificial) scents. If you’d rather douse yourself in toilet water than wear some odorous concoction, consider Dessert Essence’s latest line of fragrance free indulgences.
Though rich and lathery, these body washes, lotions, shampoos and conditioners are completely odorless—believe me I did a sniff test. In addition to being absolutely stink-free, the line contains no parabens, phosphates, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances or colors. Hmmm, I wonder how many of those are in Eau de Celine?
Best of all, each fragrance-free delight, like all Dessert Essence goodies, is 100 percent biodegradable, cruelty and wheat/gluten free. Seriously, this company is great. Not only do they support the efforts of organic farming (a big plus in my book), but DE manufactures all products utilizing wind power–very cool, indeed. Pick your stink-free saturants at any Whole Foods or health store nationwide.
Celine! Please, pipe down!
Wow ! I can’t believe it’s even gluten free ! I have Celiac Sprue and have found it nearly impossible to find gluten free + organic care products, like shampoo. So hard in fact I have gone 6 years without ever using shampoo, cause i rathered use nothing then turn to some chem shampoo (i even wrote a blog about this, and how my hair adjusted over time). Thanks for posting this article.

I LOVE Desert Essence Organics! I use the chai-scented hand and body lotion. It’s nice to see that they’re making products without the fragrance, though.

I’m such a fragrance junkie, so I like to sometimes buy unscented products and add my own essential oils (lavender and ylang ylang are my faves). Though sometimes you CAN have too much scent, or too many competing ones – even if they’re totally natrural.

Thank you so much for this! I hate, hate, HATE! perfumes and people act so surprised when I say so, like how could anyone not like perfume? It’s really nice to see someone else commenting on this and promoting some “stink-free” items. I think people who use perfume become deadened to the smell and they don’t realize how strong it is and how it smells to other people, especially when they hop onto an elevator or bus and choke other people.
