The “Fresh Scent” Problem

Products marketed as “fresh” or “deodorizing” contain synthetic fragrances — complex mixtures of dozens of chemical compounds, many of which are known allergens. The vulvar area is highly vascular and readily absorbs topical substances, making it particularly vulnerable.

Symptoms of Fragrance-Induced Contact Dermatitis

• Persistent itching or burning during or after your period
• Redness or swelling of the labia or surrounding skin
• Symptoms that improve when you switch products
• Reactions frequently misdiagnosed as yeast infections

Identifying Hidden Fragrances

• “Fragrance” or “Parfum” on the label (can represent hundreds of chemicals)
• “Aloe vera” or “chamomile” added as scenting agents
• “Deodorizing” or “odor-neutralizing” language
• Any product with a noticeable scent when opened

The D&L Approach

D&L products contain zero fragrances of any kind. No synthetic perfumes, no masking agents, no botanical scenting additives. The only scent you’ll notice is clean organic cotton — exactly as it should be.
