ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE - ignore the "essential oil" claims if you have sensitive skin.
I really don't like how misleading the "essential oil" claim is. We have VERY sensitive skin in our family and cannot take any artificial fragrance. It's so difficult to find products without it but that aren't "free and clear" (which, if you have well water like we do, will leave a funky smell in your laundry). So I decided to try this and we all got rashes. Went to Mrs Meyers' website and it says this about the fragrance (on the individual ingredient breakdown page): " mixture of natural, high-quality essential oils and safe synthetic fragrance ingredients". For people with sensitive skin, artificial fragrance is THE #1 skin irritant. It's ridiculous that a brand and product so touted as "natural" and that goes out of its way to market the essential oils, would then ruin it by loading it with artificial fragrance and then have the audacity to hide this information on a dedicated page of their website (that no one would ever go to before purchasing in a store, of course) AND to call it "safe synthetic fragrance". What does that even mean? Safe for what or whom? I don't need a company making arbitrary claims about which artificial fragrances are supposedly safe. Just leave them out. Big disappointment.
