Thanks for the PSA at the end about wearing too much fragrance in public! :) I'm a severe asthmatic so fragrances can give me an asthma attack. I had an issue at work with a coworker uses fragrances everywhere (plug ins candles lysol etc...) and I unfortunately had to escalate it to HR because she refused to listen to both me and my supervisor. The HR woman came to see her about that and some other issues and I swear it was like the HR lady had bathed in a tub of perfume that morning -_- this was after I gave them a doctor's note about it and everything. Some people just do not get it.
Totally agree. Back in the day, you honestly were not supposed to come into the office smelling like ANYTHING! Please, can we go back to those days except give people higher salaries, healthcare and equal opportunities?!
CassieLino YES! This is horrible! This happened to me from a night nurse when I was in the hospital with pneumonia, and I also have asthma. They’re not supposed to wear any fragrance in the hospital.
@@TBeatles67 omg that's horrible, I would have been absolutely LIVID! I hope you demanded a new nurse...nurses are trained to know not to do that so she has no excuse. Im sorry you went through that :(
Its terrible!!! I am in the same boat as you. I have been to dentists and dr office that have those glade plug in scents... I immediately leave and find another doctor. I work in medicine, and our offices do not ever use those products. A big no-no!!
Tell me more about everything! I would really like to know what essential oils break down into what components, what those components do to actually be sensitizing, and how long that takes with what environment.
I agree that it isn’t a judgement thing or “this is better”: BUT As someone who worked in Pediatric research for a time, I’m hyper cautious about essential oils. As they have become more popular, we are seeing more issues. Starting to see them actually interfere with hormones ESPECIALLY in children. (And those with chronic health issues) (Mainly Tea Tree & Lavender). I also wonder about the cumulative effects: Until more research is done, I’m staying away so thank you for going truly fragrance free!! ♥️
This is interesting! I'm split on essential oils. I definitely don't use them on my face or ingest them but I sometimes use peppermint oil (which I know is pretty irritating to the skin) on my neck when I feel like my muscles are too tight but I'm thinking I should probably stay away from it
@@girllionness5944 if you still want to use the peppermint oil on your neck maybe do a light mix in a carrier oil so you get the benefits without any side effects (at least in my experience). My mum is an aromatherapist so she makes mine up now because I used to use it straight onto my temples and neck for headaches and tension and it's not as strong and cooling in a carrier oil but still does the job just as well :)
Wow I didnt know about the cumulative effects and hormones in children. I used to diffuse it around my kids even during my confinement days. I was told its fine and safe. 😑
Nadia Leeyana as far as we know diffusing is still okay. It’s just topically and internally, that is concerning. But then again, we still don’t know future effects. 🤷♀️
@@BethanySchmidtEsthetics Totally agree! From the research I've done and that my mum has done we are comfortable using topically diluted in a carrier oil but I would NEVER use internally. The most I have ever done is wet a cotton tip with water and put some oil on it (not even a drop just what is on the cap of a bottle when you dab it) and put it where I've had a toothache before. Oils do not mix into water so really diluting within water makes no difference and people doing internal use are often not educated about essential oils at all; I find it extremely concerning. I choose to not buy from companies like young living and doterra that say they can be ingested because without proper data I think it is too risky and irresponsible for a company to claim this which ethically I aqm against.
Kenna, I'm so happy! I bought your three steps system this morning and I was only hesitant to purchase because of the presence of fragrance in them. This makes me feel like I did the right thing. I can't wait to get them. Thank you for listening to your customers and adjusting your formula in a short amount of time.
Hi Kenna! Thank you for making this video. A few ideas/review requests: 1. Youth to the People 2. Tata Harper 3. Juice Beauty 4. Tatcha Thanks again for the great content! 😊
I really, really appreciate your videos and channel in general. I watch a lot of youtube (rlly too much honestly) and you’re one of the few people I most look forward to posting new content. You’re the first channel I’ve come across that uses actual science and studies to back what you’re saying about the products you talk about. I cant wait for your essential oil video. Thank you so much for educating us!
Kenna ! I love how passionate you are about skincare and the science behind everything we use you literally light up when you talk about this stuff and it makes us all more interested !
I love this video so so much!!! I feel like we always here an overarching/generalization about fragrance/essential oils being bad for you but never hearing why exactly and about these less irritating ones. Thank you, Kenna! I love being able to vibe with you and all these science babes ❤️❤️❤️👩🔬
Please never lose this way of making your videos! It’s so pleasant to see and it feels homey! You don’t need crazy editing, what you’re doing is simply amazing! Thank you for your content 🧡
Sashimi 27 I have the moisturizing cleanser and the SA Renewal cleanser and I had to go smell them because I couldn’t think of the scent. Doesn’t smell like much to me, but I can’t handle fragrance it gives me a super bad headache and make it hard to breathe.
Yeah, I don't really smell anything w/r/t my Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser. I think cheap "sweet"/candy-like fragrance in most skincare/haircare smells disgusting and far worse than anything by Cerave
I was hesitant to buy your product line because of the fragrance but now I’m excited to do so!! As soon as my current products run out, I will buy your products. Thank you so much for your transparency, it means a lot in this industry. Can’t wait to buy products that are packaged and created with intention 😌
When a product mentions lemon extract or any fruit extract oil as an active ingredient , is that the same as having the 'fragrance' essential oil? Or are those 2 different?
Neha M It depends on the fruit! For citrus extracts, yes. But avocado oil is non-irritating and healthy. I use Paula’s Choice as a holdup reference to know which is which :)
Fran Ameri grape seed oil is a carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil, etc. essential oils can be diluted into a carrier oil to be safer to use, as essential oils are very concentrated. Some carrier oils you can eat or cook with, some you can’t, but the main difference in how they’re made is carrier oils are made from the ingredient being pressed, where essential oils are distilled from botanical ingredients. Essential oils cannot be ingested, and if anyone tells you they can, don’t listen to them. I encourage you to do some researching on your own as well, in case I missed anything or got anything wrong.
@@sarahbarlow1941 I know. I didn't say grape seed oil, I said "grapefruit " seed oil. I am asking because grapefruit seed oil is in an eye cream I have been using, and I was wondering. ;)
Thank you for listening to our feedback yesterday on the Lush video and talking about this today ❤️ Edit: Yes please tell us more about the perfume industry! I also find it fascinating!
I love your frequent and well researched/ informative videos! This is The only channel I actually bother watching these days for skin and beauty tips as I know you are not being biased by brands paying $$$$ for fake reviews etc❤️ keep it up😊🙋🏽♀️
thank you for talking about this - definitely want to learn more if you could make more videos on it! after I watched the documentary 'Stink!' I began the journey of avoiding fragrance in most if not all of my products (which can be hard!) ...I already have a skin sensitivity and asthma, so please keep spilling that knowledge Kenna, you do us all such a great service
I was one of the people that commented asking if you'd ever make your skincare line fragrance free. Thanks so much for explaining everything, listening to feedback and making your line fragrance free. I'm adding your moisturizer to my wish list! ❤
I can’t wait for your video on essential oils! 😁 I’ve been looking at purchasing a hemp based oil claiming to clear up acne and leave skin glowing, but it’s full of essential oils including lavender and tea tree. Since watching your videos I’ve learnt to be cautious of these oils on the face, and am now undecided on wether to purchase or not.
OMG I am so happy to hear you removed fragnance from your line . I honestly don't believe fragrance belongs in skin care ,it is not something that has a purpose . So now I am very excited to try your line as this was the only thing that was stopping me xx
You're amazing! Love learning to the science behind it all. Appreciate you teaching us and being transparent about your own brand. You have earned my trust and am so excited for the products!
You do such a great job presenting! Also much appreciated that you don't have adds throughout your videos! No fluff and all knowledge. You'd videos quite literally speak for themselves 🙂
I noticed the change in the ingredients ! Wow that was so awesome of you!!!! We need more CEOs like this girl around !!!!!! When will products ship ?!?!
As an organic chemist (BSc level) I appreciate your videos so so much for the multitude of unbiased facts you include and your stressing of "what do the studies say"? Please don't ever leave CZcams!!
So excited for the essential oil videos!! I have a whole notebook of “uses” on the ones I use often but would love love love some REAL information. Who knows what’s really on the internet.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was on the fence about trying the products bc of fragrance but I’m definitely getting them now. Super impressed with how you took feedback and made changes 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for speaking out on people being aware about their perfume habits. I think most people just don't realize it can bother people so much. I have those experiences in elevators where I feel like I can't breathe, my eyes burn, and my face gets really itchy. Its honestly the worst on airplanes because I can't leave the environment!
Thank you for keeping your channel so fact and science based! It’s so refreshing and I have no doubt if you keep doing so that it will continue to grow.
eisbardotdot I would love to see more personal content from her as well or other topics than science based things because i want to watch more from her but I’m not interested in some of these topics.
Great video! Thank you for the knowledge about fragrance and for spreading awareness. I'm very sensitive to fragrance and have an asthmatic reaction when someone wears a lot in public, most people dont realise that others can be sensitive to it so thank you for making people aware 😊 And for your skincare line, did you think about making a fragrance free version and a fragranced version for people who love the smell?
Hello Kenna! Could you please do an entire video just about exfoliation? I have so many doubts. I stopped using my usual exfoliant since you pointed out how the physical particles can be too abrasive for sensitive skin, which in hindsight made sense because exfoliating always made my super-dry sensitive acne-prone skin very angry, getting inflamed and with more outbreaks. The problem is that I don't know anything about chemical exfoliants, nothing at all. I don't know what to do because over time I have damaged my skin with harsh products to control acne, it's why it's so dry and dehydrated on the surface. I need to exfoliate somehow, just don't know what with.
Hokuspokus if your skin is flaky looking, that is actually not dryness, you just need to exfoliate (excess of dead skin cells sitting on top of the surface due to excess oils... typically found around the nose (t-zone area) or places where acne occurs). But physical exfoliants should never be used on acne! Acne is considered broken skin and all physical exfoliants will do is pop open the pimple without you being able to see it, and then it will just spread the bacteria around and cause more acne. Chemical exfoliants are wonderful! I use the alcohol-free and dye-free toner from Clinique. That has acetyl glucosamine and salicylic acid (not near enough to treat acne, just enough to soothe irritation (redness) and help get rid of dead skin cells). Those are both amazing exfoliants! I don’t like the alcohol toners, but the 1.0 is amazing!! I would recommend going to your local Ulta or Sephora and getting a sample. Just make sure they don’t give you the one with alcohol. Also, I use an AHA face mask every week, those two things have helped my skin so much! I hope you give it a try and hope this helped! 😊
Try a lactic acid treatment. Lactic acid is a BHA which is pretty gentle for people just starting out with chemical exfoliants. The Ordinary has a lactic acid serum that is really good and it’s super affordable!! Definitely use the serum after cleanser and before moisturizer. Order of thin to thickest consistency is important when layering skincare products. Oils should always be used last. Hope this helps!! 😊
Yesss we definitely need a more in depth video on essential oils! I'd love to know your opinion on what essential oil brands are reliable or at least what key things to look for in searching for a reliable brand to purchase from! OMG I think a series focusing on one essential oil at a time would be amazing too because then you could spend more time on each one and list benefits and possible uses, etc. I really hope you do a video with a deeper dive into the chemistry behind the fragrance industry and all that interesting stuff that goes along with it too because I'm super curious about all that too (: I don't know if you've heard of or used any of the Rodan and Fields products but a future video on that would be really cool to as I'm interested to know your perspective! Sorry haha, I know I just wrote you an essay but I LOVE your videos! I've been interested in this stuff for years now and it's great to have someone who can explain things a bit better to me or give me a great foundation of knowledge to start from. THANKS KENNA
I loved how you said to beware of fragrance when in public. If someone is wearing a super strong fragrance or a fragrance my body doesn’t agree with it will trigger a migraine or make the migraine that I already have worse. So thank you I really appreciate it.
I would definitely be interested in a specific fragrance video. My experience with them is brief, but I used to sell them many years ago. One habit that has stuck with me is to keep the bottles away from light so they last longer.
Wow, Kenna. I had no idea fragrances could be so complicated. Thanks for your discussion! I had no idea that there were so many reasons for allergic reactions to essential oils. I have no idea if I get a contact dermatitis as a result of the actual lavender oil or citrus oils in a product or to the degradation of the oil. The easiest thing for me to do is steer clear of them. I really appreciate the information you shared.
This is so enlightening- I abhor essential oils HOWEVER, my skin LOVES vanilla oleoresins. It’s never more happy than with vanilla planifolia extract. This explains why! Thank you for clearing this up!
I've learned so much with this video!!! Really looking forward an in-depth video about the fragrance chemistry, and about essential oils too!! Thanks for sharing this, hugs&kisses from Brazil ❤️❤️❤️
Have you heard of toxic induced loss of tolerance? Its something I’ve been learning about recently because I can’t handle fragrances anymore, but I used to use them all the time. Thank you for this video 💙 I wish more people understood how sick their fragrances can make others in public 😢
You read every comment? Then know that I love you and I'm so excited for where you're taking your channel, I'm actually interested in science for the first time in years! 😂 Also, early congrats on 200k, you're at 199k right now!
Loving the informative content, you’re a breath of fresh air in the CZcams game! I was wondering: what are you thoughts on water extracts (such as lavender, rosemary, citrus)? Do they have the same problems in terms of sustainability/sensitivity?
I am so happy that I've (knock on wood) never had a skin sensitivity except to poison ivy (even vapor) from the plant. I love 'green smelling' and herbaceous skincare. I worked in perfumery for a bit... It's really interesting about components for producing a note for a particular smell either ethically or morally has developed over the years. Oak Moss is probably my favourite fragrance note ever, but the amounts approved for fragrance are so minimal now due to sensitivities the general population has; and anything that is raspberry scented cannot be natural because things don't smell like they tasted and vice versa. Good informative video. The science behind fragrance is really really cool. I think if more people accessed information like this they could make informed decisions for themselves and living comfortably with or without fragrance.
Hi Kenna! Love your videos! I’m a big fan. I just wanna run this by you as I’ve been very confused by this product. I have a Dermaveen hydrating facial moisturiser. In Australia, this moisturiser is even cheaper than Cerave. The Dermaveen moisturiser is marketed for dry, sensitive skin and is supposedly hypoallergenic, paraben and fragrance free. The ingredients I will list in order: Aqua, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl alcohol, Glycerin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis oil, Cetyl alcohol, Macadamia ternifolia seed oil, Sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Betaglucan, Cetearyl glucoside, Pentylene glycol, Sodium lactate, Lactic acid, serine, Urea, Sorbitol, Sodium chloride, Allantoin, Rosa Moschata Seed Oil, Avena Sativa Kernel oat flour, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, triethanolamine, benzyl alcohol, sorbic acid, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, disodium EDTA, tocopheryl acetate, sorbitan oleate. I’m just wondering about all the oils in the product and if it really is ok to use this product. My skin is not that sensitive but I do have acne so I’d just like to know. Thank you so much and keep rocking on! #sciencebabes
Kenna, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! 😂 Thank you so much! Yes, I’m extremely sensitive to fragrance, chemical scents, etc. I get an instant migraine to anything strong. And I can’t use any fragrance on my face. I can use not citrus on my body. I love Frankincense.
Hi Kenna! I just wanted to say don't worry about the comments too much. I understand your feelings regarding this, I used to write some stories on an artist site, and in the beginning I was soo happy when I saw that a few people clicked on it to read it, even happier when some left a comment, of course I replied right away. But later on, when thousands and thousands read them with hundreds of comments, suddenly it became a little tiring and I wanted to put off answering them. Not because I wasn't grateful, I loved them very much, but I just felt I wanted to give each of them the right reaction to let them know I truly care, not just writing 'thank youu!!' to everyone. But on the other hand, when too much time passed, it seemed awkward to reply. Vicious circle. So don't stress about it, don't feel pressured! We are just happy that we found your channel, even more so with the lots of great content, maybe we also express our thoughts in the comments, but please don't feel that you're expected to answer all of them! It's very nice of you though, I think we all appreciate that very much. :)
Do you have any info on how certain foods or drinks affect the skin and acne and possibly make a video? Thank you for your channel! I can feel my brain growing and your videos make me so happy!
Thank you for your sharing and overview of the topic. I really liked the 1% mark video too. Would it be possible to have a video on irritating agents and also a tutorial/overview of tretinoin and how to apply it? I love in Italy and I’m using Airol 0.25% but they’re retiring it from the market soon so I have no idea what to look for now
I really enjoyed your opinion! I agree that everyone has the right to make the best decision in regards to fragrance in their routines. The video definitely opened my eyes.
Thanks for this information. I've learned so much. For those of us that are migraine prone, we are sensitive to strong fragrance. I was on an airplane once where someone nearby had on a heavy perfume. It was a horrible experience for me and of course as soon as we landed I bought some headache relief medicine to cut back my migraine. It doesn't matter if it smells good or not.
I'm allergic to (most?) perfume in general and I'm really not happy with how skincare products contain them so often. In small amounts it's okay but I have really bad experience with this. This isn't skincare but I once used a deep conditioner which was strongly scented and I got really bad rashes on my skin after using it just for a few minutes. I'm actually very hesitant about buying a Too Faced palette because many are scented and I don't dare to use that on my allergenic skin, especially not my eyes. I don't see enough people talk about this stuff so this video was helpful. Thank you Kenna!
Amazing video as usual! I would LOOOOOVE to hear your thoughts on ecotan products (super famous is the face tan water, glory oil, mask and they have a 3 step routine they promote too) it's getting lots of attention in australia lately but I've heard globally people like it but there is some ingredients that make me nervous to use on my acne prone skin like coconut oil. Would love your opinion Kenna!!
Thank you for mentioning the care needed when wearing fragrance in public. For someone else, it's a fleeting moment in passing. For me, it may trigger a migraine lasting for days and affect my ability to function. Love when people smell good. Miss those days! But never know what fragrances will trigger so I appreciate the mention.
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙌🏻 I love your videos, they’re educational but also understandable ❤️ would you consider having both a fragrance and fragrance free version of your products?
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Would you consider making a video about perfumes? If/how they can affect us/irritate us/ go into organizm etc.
It’s interesting that you’re suggesting we become scent respectful and aware, given that like you also indicate that the perfume industry is so large and lucrative. I personally don’t wear it often, only occasionally...but there are many people that wear it every day. I don’t have a problem with it until it’s sprayed in my vicinity where air isn’t moving. I’ve had asthma attacks when people people spray it in enclosed areas. Also I find most popular scents, especially musk, quite revolting. At the same time, scents I do like, that are in my soaps for example, I really enjoy. Ideally, all products would be scent-free. Trying to get people to not use them in public would be much more challenging!!! And yes, a fascinating topic!
Wonderful, informative, fascinating video!!! Loved it so much, and would love to hear more about fragrances!!! Would love if you could also talk about phthalates as well!!! P.S. I am excited that you removed fragrances from your products. I am much more inclined to use them now xo.
Kenna! You probably wont see this but I wanted to give it a shot, I feel like you’re the only person that can help me. I suffer from extremely dry skin on my legs which usually causes them to itch to the point I make them bleed. I feel like I have tried every single moisteriser on the market, and they usually help temporarily, but as soon as the weather gets a bit more dry or I take a shower the itching starts again. It usually starts at night too so sometimes it keeps me up. I dont have any rashes or any ”marks” on my skin that indicate that I have some sort of skin disease, so I’m pretty sure Im just really dry. Do you have any tips on what I can do to help sooth my skin and prevent it from having these crazy itch-attacks? I’ve been suffering from this for years and it’s been really hard.
Though you sound knowledgeable about essential oils, I think a lot of people with less information just feel safer without using any scents, especially on the face. It can be very tiring to go through every single ingredient and cross reference information. I have no interest in unnecessary synthetic fragrance in skincare, but I do enjoy essential oils and aromatherapy. I'm happy for the tips on how to use them safely, thank you for sharing the information. I really enjoyed hearing a reasonable, informed perspective. Speaking of, have you done a video about reasonable sun protection? It seems to be another divisive issue, and I don't find either extreme view very healthy mentally or physically. I'm struggling to find a good balance.
Omg so awesome that you listened to feedback and removed the fragrance! Although I trusted watever safe oils u had Its so great that u show u care! 💜💜 keep at it girl and thank u for my happy skin!
Yaayy I’m so happy that you took the fragrance out of your products! But is there still alcohol in them? Either way I love your videos and your channel, love the consistent content!
Good video! Just as a point of clarification, Patchouli isn’t a resinoid. The plant is actually a herb in the same family as mint, sage and basil, it’s true that it’s absolute is less prone to oxidation than some other absolutes but this would apply more to the darker (and coincidentally less pure, which is to say it has picked up byproducts of less delicate extraction methods) varieties of the oil which are less susceptible to UV degradation and are considered to improve in odour with time. The purest forms of patchouli oil (things like molecular distillates) are very light in colour but are also more prone to UV degradation.
I’m very allergic to fragrance including essential oils. I even developed a reaction to my shampoo and conditioner. Now I can see why! Thanks for the detailed explanation. That’s awesome your line is now fragrance free!
I started watching you after the Jaclyn videos (which was also great btw) and the quality of your videos has improved a lot since! But yes, like someone said, you can just heart a few comments and respond to stuff that maybe multiple people have asked/has many likes so probably many want to know about or seem most relevant, it's fine if you can't respond to everything! We understand and won't feel left out 😊
Thank you SO MUCH for removing fragrance from the formula!!! 😍 I was hesitant to buy because of it but now I can splurge! ❤️
@@oliviagelander4271 not really as long as your other skincare products doesn't have fragrance. Hyram says that 2 products have fragrance is okay but if it a lot then, you are increasing the risk of fragrance.

Thanks for the PSA at the end about wearing too much fragrance in public! :) I'm a severe asthmatic so fragrances can give me an asthma attack.

Off topic, but the way she says fragrance is so cute 😂💖

Omg didn’t even know you had a skincare line! 🏃🏼♀️💨💨💨 me running to the Altilis site
Tell me more about everything! I would really like to know what essential oils break down into what components, what those components do to actually be sensitizing, and how long that takes with what environment.
Please do a deep dive on this topic!! The more I'm learning about perfume and fragrance in skincare, the more fascinated I'm becoming!

I would love a video about the chemistry behind the perfume industry! I am a chem major, and find this stuff so fascinating!!!
I love this video so so much!!! I feel like we always here an overarching/generalization about fragrance/essential oils being bad for you but never hearing why exactly and about these less irritating ones. Thank you, Kenna! I love being able to vibe with you and all these science babes ❤️❤️❤️👩🔬
Please never lose this way of making your videos! It’s so pleasant to see and it feels homey! You don’t need crazy editing, what you’re doing is simply amazing!
Thank you for your content 🧡
Could you talk about the effects of talc in makeup on the skin?
and lungs
Love the way cerave cleanser smells 😂
Sashimi 27 I have the moisturizing cleanser and the SA Renewal cleanser and I had to go smell them because I couldn’t think of the scent. Doesn’t smell like much to me, but I can’t handle fragrance it gives me a super bad headache and make it hard to breathe.
Yeah, I don't really smell anything w/r/t my Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser. I think cheap "sweet"/candy-like fragrance in most skincare/haircare smells disgusting and far worse than anything by Cerave
Is that not THE WORST smell ever? Only time I ever wished a product was fragranced 🤣
@@jcjccmz Same but I use the one for oily skin and I can't detect any smell.
@@bozenakrametbauer6072 Same! I cannot stand fragrance. I can't detect much of anything in all my Cerave products.
I was hesitant to buy your product line because of the fragrance but now I’m excited to do so!! As soon as my current products run out, I will buy your products. Thank you so much for your transparency, it means a lot in this industry. Can’t wait to buy products that are packaged and created with intention 😌
you’re so intelligent and well spoken it’s inspiring! i’m a licensed esthetician and i love your videos, always learning 🤓
When a product mentions lemon extract or any fruit extract oil as an active ingredient , is that the same as having the 'fragrance' essential oil? Or are those 2 different?
Neha M It depends on the fruit! For citrus extracts, yes. But avocado oil is non-irritating and healthy. I use Paula’s Choice as a holdup reference to know which is which :)
Yes, i.e. grapefruit seed oil -- is that an essential oil? Or is it used as a preservative?
Fran Ameri grape seed oil is a carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil, etc. essential oils can be diluted into a carrier oil to be safer to use, as essential oils are very concentrated. Some carrier oils you can eat or cook with, some you can’t, but the main difference in how they’re made is carrier oils are made from the ingredient being pressed, where essential oils are distilled from botanical ingredients. Essential oils cannot be ingested, and if anyone tells you they can, don’t listen to them. I encourage you to do some researching on your own as well, in case I missed anything or got anything wrong.
@@sarahbarlow1941 I know. I didn't say grape seed oil, I said "grapefruit " seed oil. I am asking because grapefruit seed oil is in an eye cream I have been using, and I was wondering. ;)
I’m about to ask the same question 😂😂
Thank you for listening to our feedback yesterday on the Lush video and talking about this today ❤️
Edit: Yes please tell us more about the perfume industry! I also find it fascinating!
I love your frequent and well researched/ informative videos! This is The only channel I actually bother watching these days for skin and beauty tips as I know you are not being biased by brands paying $$$$ for fake reviews etc❤️ keep it up😊🙋🏽♀️
Learned so much about skincare since I started watching your videos! ❤
thank you for talking about this - definitely want to learn more if you could make more videos on it! after I watched the documentary 'Stink!' I began the journey of avoiding fragrance in most if not all of my products (which can be hard!) ...I already have a skin sensitivity and asthma, so please keep spilling that knowledge Kenna, you do us all such a great service
I was one of the people that commented asking if you'd ever make your skincare line fragrance free. Thanks so much for explaining everything, listening to feedback and making your line fragrance free. I'm adding your moisturizer to my wish list! ❤
I can’t wait for your video on essential oils! 😁 I’ve been looking at purchasing a hemp based oil claiming to clear up acne and leave skin glowing, but it’s full of essential oils including lavender and tea tree. Since watching your videos I’ve learnt to be cautious of these oils on the face, and am now undecided on wether to purchase or not.
OMG I am so happy to hear you removed fragnance from your line . I honestly don't believe fragrance belongs in skin care ,it is not something that has a purpose . So now I am very excited to try your line as this was the only thing that was stopping me xx
You're amazing! Love learning to the science behind it all. Appreciate you teaching us and being transparent about your own brand. You have earned my trust and am so excited for the products!
You do such a great job presenting! Also much appreciated that you don't have adds throughout your videos! No fluff and all knowledge. You'd videos quite literally speak for themselves 🙂
I noticed the change in the ingredients ! Wow that was so awesome of you!!!! We need more CEOs like this girl around !!!!!!
When will products ship ?!?!
As an organic chemist (BSc level) I appreciate your videos so so much for the multitude of unbiased facts you include and your stressing of "what do the studies say"?
Please don't ever leave CZcams!!
So excited for the essential oil videos!! I have a whole notebook of “uses” on the ones I use often but would love love love some REAL information. Who knows what’s really on the internet.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was on the fence about trying the products bc of fragrance but I’m definitely getting them now. Super impressed with how you took feedback and made changes 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for speaking out on people being aware about their perfume habits. I think most people just don't realize it can bother people so much. I have those experiences in elevators where I feel like I can't breathe, my eyes burn, and my face gets really itchy. Its honestly the worst on airplanes because I can't leave the environment!
Thank you for keeping your channel so fact and science based! It’s so refreshing and I have no doubt if you keep doing so that it will continue to grow.
eisbardotdot I would love to see more personal content from her as well or other topics than science based things because i want to watch more from her but I’m not interested in some of these topics.
Great video! Thank you for the knowledge about fragrance and for spreading awareness. I'm very sensitive to fragrance and have an asthmatic reaction when someone wears a lot in public, most people dont realise that others can be sensitive to it so thank you for making people aware 😊
And for your skincare line, did you think about making a fragrance free version and a fragranced version for people who love the smell?
Hello Kenna! Could you please do an entire video just about exfoliation? I have so many doubts. I stopped using my usual exfoliant since you pointed out how the physical particles can be too abrasive for sensitive skin, which in hindsight made sense because exfoliating always made my super-dry sensitive acne-prone skin very angry, getting inflamed and with more outbreaks. The problem is that I don't know anything about chemical exfoliants, nothing at all. I don't know what to do because over time I have damaged my skin with harsh products to control acne, it's why it's so dry and dehydrated on the surface. I need to exfoliate somehow, just don't know what with.
Hokuspokus if your skin is flaky looking, that is actually not dryness, you just need to exfoliate (excess of dead skin cells sitting on top of the surface due to excess oils... typically found around the nose (t-zone area) or places where acne occurs). But physical exfoliants should never be used on acne! Acne is considered broken skin and all physical exfoliants will do is pop open the pimple without you being able to see it, and then it will just spread the bacteria around and cause more acne. Chemical exfoliants are wonderful! I use the alcohol-free and dye-free toner from Clinique. That has acetyl glucosamine and salicylic acid (not near enough to treat acne, just enough to soothe irritation (redness) and help get rid of dead skin cells). Those are both amazing exfoliants! I don’t like the alcohol toners, but the 1.0 is amazing!! I would recommend going to your local Ulta or Sephora and getting a sample. Just make sure they don’t give you the one with alcohol. Also, I use an AHA face mask every week, those two things have helped my skin so much! I hope you give it a try and hope this helped! 😊
I started out with a gentle chemical exfoliant and really enjoy it.
Try a lactic acid treatment. Lactic acid is a BHA which is pretty gentle for people just starting out with chemical exfoliants. The Ordinary has a lactic acid serum that is really good and it’s super affordable!!
Definitely use the serum after cleanser and before moisturizer. Order of thin to thickest consistency is important when layering skincare products. Oils should always be used last. Hope this helps!! 😊
I will definitely try that, thank you so much! Everyone following Kenna is so helpful, it's pretty amazing ❤
Thanks for the video! Would LOVE to hear more about the formulas and the fragrance industry!
Hey Kenna, totally off topic but do you mind doing a video discussing your opinion on toners?
THANK YOU!! Such a great move to remove the fragrance from your line! I would love to see more videos about fragrance and essential oils.
Thank you for changing the way I shop for skin care!! 💙
So excited for this!! Already liked the video and only a few seconds in
Yesss we definitely need a more in depth video on essential oils! I'd love to know your opinion on what essential oil brands are reliable or at least what key things to look for in searching for a reliable brand to purchase from! OMG I think a series focusing on one essential oil at a time would be amazing too because then you could spend more time on each one and list benefits and possible uses, etc. I really hope you do a video with a deeper dive into the chemistry behind the fragrance industry and all that interesting stuff that goes along with it too because I'm super curious about all that too (: I don't know if you've heard of or used any of the Rodan and Fields products but a future video on that would be really cool to as I'm interested to know your perspective! Sorry haha, I know I just wrote you an essay but I LOVE your videos! I've been interested in this stuff for years now and it's great to have someone who can explain things a bit better to me or give me a great foundation of knowledge to start from. THANKS KENNA
I loved how you said to beware of fragrance when in public. If someone is wearing a super strong fragrance or a fragrance my body doesn’t agree with it will trigger a migraine or make the migraine that I already have worse. So thank you I really appreciate it.
I would definitely be interested in a specific fragrance video. My experience with them is brief, but I used to sell them many years ago. One habit that has stuck with me is to keep the bottles away from light so they last longer.
Wow, Kenna. I had no idea fragrances could be so complicated. Thanks for your discussion! I had no idea that there were so many reasons for allergic reactions to essential oils. I have no idea if I get a contact dermatitis as a result of the actual lavender oil or citrus oils in a product or to the degradation of the oil. The easiest thing for me to do is steer clear of them. I really appreciate the information you shared.
You're such a sweetheart!! I love your videos, they're always so informative, I think it's my favorite skincare channel. Keep up the good work! ❤️
This is so enlightening- I abhor essential oils HOWEVER, my skin LOVES vanilla oleoresins. It’s never more happy than with vanilla planifolia extract. This explains why! Thank you for clearing this up!
Yes, dive in to the fragrance world! I am here for it!
Kenna do you plan on creating an spf moisturizer?! LOVE your products! Can't wait to use them... ♡♡♡
I've learned so much with this video!!! Really looking forward an in-depth video about the fragrance chemistry, and about essential oils too!! Thanks for sharing this, hugs&kisses from Brazil ❤️❤️❤️
Have you heard of toxic induced loss of tolerance? Its something I’ve been learning about recently because I can’t handle fragrances anymore, but I used to use them all the time.
Thank you for this video 💙 I wish more people understood how sick their fragrances can make others in public 😢
Maybe one day once your company has grown you could make a smell good version and a fragrance free version ✨
I love these videos where you cover a general topic to inform us about. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You read every comment? Then know that I love you and I'm so excited for where you're taking your channel, I'm actually interested in science for the first time in years! 😂 Also, early congrats on 200k, you're at 199k right now!
Yes, dive into the inner workings of perfume! And I'm looking forward to your essential oil ones too!
Loving the informative content, you’re a breath of fresh air in the CZcams game!
I was wondering: what are you thoughts on water extracts (such as lavender, rosemary, citrus)? Do they have the same problems in terms of sustainability/sensitivity?
I would love to hear more about the perfume industry! All your videos are incredibly fascinating
Thanks for this, Kenna. You’re doing a wonderful job
Yeah! I'm looking forward to your essential oils series!
I am so happy that I've (knock on wood) never had a skin sensitivity except to poison ivy (even vapor) from the plant. I love 'green smelling' and herbaceous skincare. I worked in perfumery for a bit... It's really interesting about components for producing a note for a particular smell either ethically or morally has developed over the years. Oak Moss is probably my favourite fragrance note ever, but the amounts approved for fragrance are so minimal now due to sensitivities the general population has; and anything that is raspberry scented cannot be natural because things don't smell like they tasted and vice versa. Good informative video. The science behind fragrance is really really cool. I think if more people accessed information like this they could make informed decisions for themselves and living comfortably with or without fragrance.
I hope you’ll consider a body cream that comes in the fragrance free and fragrance formula - it sounds lovely! Congrats on your skincare line!!
Hi Kenna! Love your videos! I’m a big fan. I just wanna run this by you as I’ve been very confused by this product. I have a Dermaveen hydrating facial moisturiser. In Australia, this moisturiser is even cheaper than Cerave. The Dermaveen moisturiser is marketed for dry, sensitive skin and is supposedly hypoallergenic, paraben and fragrance free.
The ingredients I will list in order:
Aqua,
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride,
Cetearyl alcohol,
Glycerin,
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis oil,
Cetyl alcohol,
Macadamia ternifolia seed oil,
Sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate,
Isohexadecane,
Polysorbate 80,
Betaglucan, Cetearyl glucoside,
Pentylene glycol, Sodium lactate,
Lactic acid, serine, Urea, Sorbitol,
Sodium chloride, Allantoin,
Rosa Moschata Seed Oil,
Avena Sativa Kernel oat flour, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, triethanolamine, benzyl alcohol, sorbic acid, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, disodium EDTA, tocopheryl acetate, sorbitan oleate.
I’m just wondering about all the oils in the product and if it really is ok to use this product. My skin is not that sensitive but I do have acne so I’d just like to know. Thank you so much and keep rocking on! #sciencebabes
Kenna, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! 😂 Thank you so much! Yes, I’m extremely sensitive to fragrance, chemical scents, etc. I get an instant migraine to anything strong. And I can’t use any fragrance on my face. I can use not citrus on my body. I love Frankincense.
Hi Kenna!
I just wanted to say don't worry about the comments too much.
I understand your feelings regarding this, I used to write some stories on an artist site, and in the beginning I was soo happy when I saw that a few people clicked on it to read it, even happier when some left a comment, of course I replied right away. But later on, when thousands and thousands read them with hundreds of comments, suddenly it became a little tiring and I wanted to put off answering them. Not because I wasn't grateful, I loved them very much, but I just felt I wanted to give each of them the right reaction to let them know I truly care, not just writing 'thank youu!!' to everyone. But on the other hand, when too much time passed, it seemed awkward to reply. Vicious circle.
So don't stress about it, don't feel pressured! We are just happy that we found your channel, even more so with the lots of great content, maybe we also express our thoughts in the comments, but please don't feel that you're expected to answer all of them!
It's very nice of you though, I think we all appreciate that very much. :)
Excellent content! Looking forward to more essential oils and fragrance topics! 😀
Mind reader! I was thinking about how you should do a fragrance in skincare video earlier today and then I get this notification
Could you make a video on how to shave sensitive skin(areas) properly and what products to use for shaving ?😍 Love your content!😊
Do you have any info on how certain foods or drinks affect the skin and acne and possibly make a video? Thank you for your channel! I can feel my brain growing and your videos make me so happy!
Thank you for your sharing and overview of the topic. I really liked the 1% mark video too. Would it be possible to have a video on irritating agents and also a tutorial/overview of tretinoin and how to apply it? I love in Italy and I’m using Airol 0.25% but they’re retiring it from the market soon so I have no idea what to look for now
On the fragrance industry... YES PLEASE
I really enjoyed your opinion! I agree that everyone has the right to make the best decision in regards to fragrance in their routines. The video definitely opened my eyes.
Loved this video! You always give such clear and thorough explanations 🌸please do a video on how to reduce postinflammatory erythema/red acne marks!!
Thanks for this information. I've learned so much. For those of us that are migraine prone, we are sensitive to strong fragrance. I was on an airplane once where someone nearby had on a heavy perfume. It was a horrible experience for me and of course as soon as we landed I bought some headache relief medicine to cut back my migraine. It doesn't matter if it smells good or not.
Thank you for sharing your videos, I love learning new things 💙
I'm allergic to (most?) perfume in general and I'm really not happy with how skincare products contain them so often. In small amounts it's okay but I have really bad experience with this. This isn't skincare but I once used a deep conditioner which was strongly scented and I got really bad rashes on my skin after using it just for a few minutes. I'm actually very hesitant about buying a Too Faced palette because many are scented and I don't dare to use that on my allergenic skin, especially not my eyes. I don't see enough people talk about this stuff so this video was helpful. Thank you Kenna!
Would love to know your take on the 'iS Clinical' products!
Amazing video as usual! I would LOOOOOVE to hear your thoughts on ecotan products (super famous is the face tan water, glory oil, mask and they have a 3 step routine they promote too) it's getting lots of attention in australia lately but I've heard globally people like it but there is some ingredients that make me nervous to use on my acne prone skin like coconut oil. Would love your opinion Kenna!!
Where is your sweater from? It’s so cute! Also, I see you cranking out them vids and working hard 😉
Looking forward to your essential oils series! Thanks for this video!
So excited for your pre-sale to ship out 😻
Thank you for mentioning the care needed when wearing fragrance in public. For someone else, it's a fleeting moment in passing. For me, it may trigger a migraine lasting for days and affect my ability to function. Love when people smell good. Miss those days! But never know what fragrances will trigger so I appreciate the mention.
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙌🏻 I love your videos, they’re educational but also understandable ❤️ would you consider having both a fragrance and fragrance free version of your products?
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Would you consider making a video about perfumes? If/how they can affect us/irritate us/ go into organizm etc.
It’s interesting that you’re suggesting we become scent respectful and aware, given that like you also indicate that the perfume industry is so large and lucrative. I personally don’t wear it often, only occasionally...but there are many people that wear it every day. I don’t have a problem with it until it’s sprayed in my vicinity where air isn’t moving. I’ve had asthma attacks when people people spray it in enclosed areas. Also I find most popular scents, especially musk, quite revolting. At the same time, scents I do like, that are in my soaps for example, I really enjoy. Ideally, all products would be scent-free. Trying to get people to not use them in public would be much more challenging!!! And yes, a fascinating topic!
Wonderful, informative, fascinating video!!! Loved it so much, and would love to hear more about fragrances!!! Would love if you could also talk about phthalates as well!!!
P.S. I am excited that you removed fragrances from your products. I am much more inclined to use them now xo.
Kenna! You probably wont see this but I wanted to give it a shot, I feel like you’re the only person that can help me. I suffer from extremely dry skin on my legs which usually causes them to itch to the point I make them bleed. I feel like I have tried every single moisteriser on the market, and they usually help temporarily, but as soon as the weather gets a bit more dry or I take a shower the itching starts again. It usually starts at night too so sometimes it keeps me up. I dont have any rashes or any ”marks” on my skin that indicate that I have some sort of skin disease, so I’m pretty sure Im just really dry. Do you have any tips on what I can do to help sooth my skin and prevent it from having these crazy itch-attacks? I’ve been suffering from this for years and it’s been really hard.
Though you sound knowledgeable about essential oils, I think a lot of people with less information just feel safer without using any scents, especially on the face. It can be very tiring to go through every single ingredient and cross reference information.
I have no interest in unnecessary synthetic fragrance in skincare, but I do enjoy essential oils and aromatherapy. I'm happy for the tips on how to use them safely, thank you for sharing the information. I really enjoyed hearing a reasonable, informed perspective.
Speaking of, have you done a video about reasonable sun protection? It seems to be another divisive issue, and I don't find either extreme view very healthy mentally or physically. I'm struggling to find a good balance.

i will be up all night studying everything i put on my skin to find fragrance/essentials oils. Thank you so much for this Kenna
Omg so awesome that you listened to feedback and removed the fragrance! Although I trusted watever safe oils u had Its so great that u show u care! 💜💜 keep at it girl and thank u for my happy skin!
Yaayy I’m so happy that you took the fragrance out of your products! But is there still alcohol in them? Either way I love your videos and your channel, love the consistent content!
Good video! Just as a point of clarification, Patchouli isn’t a resinoid. The plant is actually a herb in the same family as mint, sage and basil, it’s true that it’s absolute is less prone to oxidation than some other absolutes but this would apply more to the darker (and coincidentally less pure, which is to say it has picked up byproducts of less delicate extraction methods) varieties of the oil which are less susceptible to UV degradation and are considered to improve in odour with time. The purest forms of patchouli oil (things like molecular distillates) are very light in colour but are also more prone to UV degradation.
I’m very allergic to fragrance including essential oils. I even developed a reaction to my shampoo and conditioner. Now I can see why! Thanks for the detailed explanation. That’s awesome your line is now fragrance free!
Yes! Pls make more video on fragrance. I’m sensitive to fragranced pdt and would like to know how it happens. Thanks.
I would love to know your thoughts on the glow recipe pineapple-c brightening serum :)
I started watching you after the Jaclyn videos (which was also great btw) and the quality of your videos has improved a lot since! But yes, like someone said, you can just heart a few comments and respond to stuff that maybe multiple people have asked/has many likes so probably many want to know about or seem most relevant, it's fine if you can't respond to everything! We understand and won't feel left out 😊
Loved the video so informative! Def do a follow up on the perfume industry!
