Fragrances and Cancer: What You Should Know About Synthetic Scents
Share
At DeCuzzi Motorsports Fragrance, this topic hits home.
After a personal cancer diagnosis in our family, we began a journey to understand what we were really putting on (and in) our bodies. One of the biggest surprises? Traditional cologne — something that seems harmless — can carry dozens of potentially toxic chemicals.
🚫 What’s Really in Conventional Cologne?
Most commercial fragrances contain:
Phthalates (linked to hormone disruption)
Synthetic musks (can build up in body fat and breast milk)
Petrochemicals (derived from crude oil)
"Fragrance" loophole (companies don’t have to disclose ingredients — it’s protected as a trade secret)
These compounds can trigger:
Headaches
Allergic reactions
Hormonal issues
Potential links to cancer over time, especially with daily exposure
✅ What Makes DeCuzzi Different?
We don’t just remove the toxins — we replace them with natural essential oils known for therapeutic benefits.
Instead of lab-made compounds, our scents are made with:
Pure essential oils
Organic alcohol bases
No parabens, no phthalates, no nonsense
Each bottle reflects our commitment to health, strength, and confidence.
🏁 Why We Care
We didn’t create this fragrance line just to smell good — we created it to live better. To support the fighters, the survivors, the health-conscious warriors who believe your scent should elevate your mood — not put your body at risk.
