“Consumers believe that ‘if it’s on the market, it can’t hurt me.’ And this belief is sometimes wrong.” Director of FDA’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors (FDA 1998)
Known and probable human carcinogens in cosmetics
One-third of all products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens.
Impurities of concern in personal care products
Nearly 70% of all products contain ingredients that can be contaminated with impurities linked to cancer and other health problems.
Unassessed ingredients
89 % of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have not been evaluated for safety by the CIR, the FDA, or any other publicly accountable institution.

People have indulged in the pleasurable ritual of perfuming themselves with aromatic flower blends for thousands of years. Up until the 1900s scents were simple and uncomplicated, like rose and lavender water distilled from out of the garden. Technology changed all that in the 20th century, submerging pure, unadulterated botanical ingredients under an avalanche of chemical impostors.
The perfume boom began when Jacques Guerlain created Shalimar in 1925, and Francois Coty launched his fragrances, Grasse, Chypre de Coty, and La Rose Jacqueminot. Scientific advances during WWII enabled the creation of even more complex chemical perfume classics like Opium, Chanel No. 5, and 4711.
When Charles Revson created Charlie for Revlon, women began buying perfume for themselves. Cosmetic counters everywhere were flooded with a glut of synthetic perfumes created by multinationals and their imitators. From there the industry has flourished. And in fact, in the weeks leading up to Christmas this year, it is expected that a bottle of Chanel No.5 perfume will sell every 30 seconds around the globe!
The good news is that consumers are growing more discerning. And with increasing alarms over the impact of synthetic perfumes on the health of both people and the planet, there is now a move towards boutique or niche scents, perfume produced in small quantities by traditionally trained artisans. Often billed as ‘natural’, many of these perfumes still contain potentially harmful synthetic ingredients.
But not Miessence. Our six, glorious, botanical perfumes are certified organic. That means that they contain only pure, unadulterated essential oils, extracts, and absolutes. No toxic synthetic chemicals. Ever. A pure, pristine scent you will be proud to wear. That’s because you’re worth it, and we know it!

Banning synthetic smells from the workplace is turning out to be the social issue of the century. More and more people are suffering from multiple chemical sensitivities, (MCS Syndrome), with reported allergic reactions such as headaches, dizziness, irritability, hypertension, and depression. Providing these people with a fragrance-free environment has become such a critical issue that it won’t go away.
The concern has been taken up worldwide and continues to grow in intensity. Australian environmental specialist Dr. Mark Donohoe has been quoted as saying that he believes the chemical fragrance issue may become even larger than the anti-smoking campaigns of the past. Already, anti-fragrance reform is taking effect in the most unlikely places. England’s Lady Mar is a well-known campaigner on chemical poisoning issues in the UK. In 2004, she almost single-handedly succeeded in stopping the excessive use of synthetic colognes and perfumes in the resolutely traditionalist British House of Lords.
The European Committee has instigated research to evaluate the uses of all chemicals on the European market. Germany already has regulations to fight synthetic fragrance issues. And in the US, employees are claiming protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
But, for now, it appears that control is more likely to be exerted by employers responding to workers’ complaints. Writing in the Melbourne Age (2004), Elisabeth King said, ‘…after banning the wearing of freshly dry-cleaned clothes, perfumes, and over-fragranced cleaning products on a trial basis, they (employers) often discover that all of their employees, not just MCS sufferers, feel much better.’
Miessence understands how chemically sensitive people feel. That’s why we created six pure scents made out of certified organic flowers and plants. That’s why you’ll never find a synthetic chemical in any of our products. Smell Good. Feel Good. Look Good. You can trust us because we’re Miessence.
