Edinburgh Natural Rollerball Perfume Oils
Edinburgh Natural Perfume Oils are made from a simple blend of natural oils and essences, in pretty roller ball packaging. These offer a long-lasting scent with just a small application, and are gentle on skin without leaving a greasy residue. Sold in eco packaging.
We do not recommend rosewood, as this oil is from an endangered tree.
Never spray scent near babies or pets (air rooms before letting them back in rooms). Avoid scent at night, if pets sleep on your bed. Same for incense, cocoa solid scents (in case they lick your skin – same with beauty creams and sun creams/cosmetics/deodorants with zinc oxide).
Why choose sustainable vegan scents?
Most of the big brand scents are made with fake fragrance and sometimes animal or endangered ingredients. And massively over-priced to pay for over-packaging and celebrity endorsements.
Ingredients to avoid in perfume & cologne
Parfum (this masks all kinds of nasties)
- Civet is from the glands of an Asian wild cat
- Castoreum (also used in ‘fake vanilla’) is from beavers
- Castoreum is from beavers
- Musk is from a tiny Siberian deer
- Hyraceum is from an African guinea pig
- Ambergris is from ‘whale poop’
- Rosewood oil (from a critically endangered tree)
- Ensure sandalwood and frankincense are sustainably-harvested
- Ensure eucalyptus avoids chainsaw harvesting to protect koalas ((monocultures can cause wildfires for these flammable trees).
How to safely dispose of old scents
Don’t pour old perfumes down drains, as alcohol/oils can harm wildlife. Use them up and recycle empty bottles (take full/half-full bottles to household recycling, as hazardous waste).
