What are synthetic fragrances?
Synthetic fragrances are artificially produced in the laboratory, mostly based on petrochemical compounds.
Their goal is to create a specific scent that is as stable, intense, and consistent as possible.
They often consist of individual isolated fragrance molecules and contain no natural accompanying substances.
As a result, they lack a holistic effect and can cause irritation or intolerances – especially in sensitive skin.
Synthetic fragrances are primarily used in conventional perfumes, detergents and personal care products because they are inexpensive and long-lasting.
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are natural fragrances obtained directly from plants, flowers, leaves or peels – usually through steam distillation or cold pressing.
They contain a complex combination of many natural ingredients that carry the characteristic scent and therapeutic effect of the plant.
Unlike synthetic perfumes, essential oils have a holistic effect on body, mind and soul.
They can soothe, invigorate, clarify or ground – depending on the plant and composition.
Why Barau uses exclusively natural fragrances.
At Barau, we exclusively use pure essential oils, preferably from controlled organic cultivation.
Each fragrance composition is formulated in a low, skin-friendly concentration to respect the skin's natural balance.
We determine the dosage ourselves, but we strictly adhere to the limits and safety guidelines of the IFRA (International Fragrance Association).
These international regulations define the maximum permissible concentration of individual fragrances and serve to protect the skin and health.
This is how we ensure maximum safety, naturalness and sensory quality in every product.
The result is an authentic fragrance experience that accompanies you naturally – without synthetic additives, without artificial fixatives.
