A closer look at Orebella’s “good for you” formulas and you’ll find fragrance (parfum) is listed as the third ingredient. I asked the cosmetic chemist I work with to review them and below is where the products netted out. Punchline: still toxic (though TikTok doesn’t seem to care). It’s especially disappointing given that Orebella’s marketing touts “hydrating, alcohol-free & elevated with essential oils,” making it seem like you’re making a healthier choice.
