At every step of the development process, we prioritize ingredient safety and transparency, starting with the list of restricted ingredients below. This list reflects the most current, comprehensive and strict list of potentially toxic ingredients we prohibit in our formulas. 

However, at Emmotiv we go beyond this restricted list to *also* reveal the actual ingredients in our fragrances. While most fragrance brands only show “Fragrance (Parfum)” on their ingredient list, we are proud to disclose the individual ingredients that make up each of our perfumes. We believe this transparency can help consumers make more informed decisions about the products they apply to their skin, especially if they have sensitivity to certain ingredients.

How to find the complete list of ingredients in each of our fragrances: At the top of each fragrance product page, in the description section, you will find a section titled “Fragrance (Parfum) Ingredients”. When you click it, it will expand to show the full list of ingredients used in that fragrance. For multi-fragrance sets, please refer to the individual fragrance pages for this information. 

Our fragrances are also are vegan, cruelty-free and EU-compliant.
