Look for: Essential Oil
A safer source for perfume is an essential oil derived by chemical-free steam distillation, cold-pressing or the labor-intensive enfleurage method used with delicate jasmine or tuberose flowers. Scents like Aveda Energizing Composition, $21, which are created by blending essential oils, may not last as long as synthetic perfumes, but they're just as sexy and can be repeatedly applied without giving you a chemical headache. Plus, essential oils haven't been linked to infertility like phthalates. Bonus!SEE NEXT PAGE: Avoid: Dibutyl Phthalate or DBP, Toulene, Formaldehyde
