Why Fragrance-Free Curl Products Sometimes Arrive Scented (and What You Can Do About It)

A helpful guide to shopping for fragrance-free curly hair products online.

If you’re sensitive to fragrance, you know how disappointing it is when a product labeled “fragrance-free” arrives smelling like perfume. It can feel confusing, frustrating, and honestly a little defeating. You’re not imagining it. Fragrance transfer is a real thing.

At van + veronica Haircare, we want you to feel safe and confident in what you order. This guide is here to help you reduce exposure when shopping online and help you feel a little more confident while doing it.

Why This Happens

Even fragrance-free products can pick up scent during shipping or storage. Common causes include storage near scented items, warehouses that handle fragranced products, scented packaging materials, and air transfer from other packages.

Steps to Reduce Fragrance Transfer

• Choose brands committed to fragrance-free shipping.
• Check whether the brand also sells scented products, including those made with essential oils. If they do, ask how they prevent transfer.
• Ask about fragrance-free packaging, since tissue paper, stickers, or boxes can transfer scent.
