Beware of Synthetic oils - Ingredients not listed: May be harmful to your health (toxic)
When ordering these I did not realize the health risks of artificial fragrances and differences between true essential oils and "fragrance oils. My mistake. I do not use these anymore. Several of the pack were unpleasant due to the synthetic smell. Ocean Breeze, for example sounded really nice. But it wasn't. Very synthetic and smelled nothing like what I was hoping for. Recently I stopped using all air fresheners because of their toxicity. I don't imagine these oils are much better. It is really concerning that they don't even post the ingredients in these oils on the packaging or here on the web description. Here is some information I found on "synthetic fragrance oils": "Synthetic fragrance oils may contain any number of toxins: Benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, propylene glycol, parabens, and sulfates just to mention a few. In all, there are dozens of commonly used chemicals in these products, 95% of them derived from petroleum byproducts. Manufacturers of synthetic fragrances must add toxic solvents to make their synthetic fragrances spread and dissipate into the air. They also add toxic chemicals to make the airborne fragrance molecules become sticky so they will cling to clothing, hair, furniture, and skin. This causes the smell to persist for hours or days or months. You get a longer lasting effect but of unhealthy chemicals."
