The FDA explains that fragrances appear in different cosmetic categories and that some products called unscented may include them to mask odors from other components. This entry encourages readers to distinguish a sensory description from formulation information. It reflects the context of the U.S. source and does not evaluate a particular brand. No conclusions are drawn about individual tolerance or the absence of ingredients based on perceived scent.
Olfactory descriptions are not equivalent to an ingredient list. The properties of an ingredient do not automatically transfer to the finished product.
