Why You Should Ditch Toxic Fragrances for Hormone-Safe, Cycle-Syncing Perfume

Fragrance is deeply personal—it’s how we express ourselves, boost our mood, and connect with the world around us. But what if the perfume you’re wearing is working against your body?

Most mainstream perfumes are made with synthetic ingredients that can disrupt your hormonal health. These artificial scents may smell luxurious, but many hide harsh chemicals that impact your body’s delicate endocrine system. At Soluna and Eve, we believe your perfume should do more: support your cycle, soothe your mood, and work with your body—not against it.

This blog breaks down the science behind why traditional perfumes can be harmful, how cycle-syncing natural fragrances can support hormonal balance, and the key reasons we’ve carefully crafted every bottle of Soluna and Eve for women’s wellness.

The Hidden Dangers in Traditional Perfume

What Are Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs)?

EDCs are chemicals that interfere with your body’s natural hormone function. They can mimic or block hormones like estrogen and progesterone, disrupting your cycle and even contributing to long-term health issues. These compounds are often disguised under the word “fragrance” on product labels.

Common Health Effects Linked to Synthetic Fragrances:

• Hormonal imbalance (e.g. worsened PMS, irregular cycles)
• Fertility issues and reproductive disruption
• Heightened stress (linked to increased cortisol levels)
• Greater risk of chronic conditions like breast cancer or thyroid dysfunction

What’s Hiding in Your Perfume?

Many traditional perfumes contain:

• Phthalates – hormone disruptors often used to make scents last longer
• Synthetic Fragrance – shown to mimic estrogen and linger in the body
• Parabens – preservatives that also act as xenoestrogens (fake estrogens)
• Formaldehyde – a known carcinogen used in stabilizing fragrance formulas

These ingredients don’t just disappear—they’re absorbed through your skin and inhaled every time you wear them.

The Problem with Denatured Alcohol

One hidden ingredient in many perfumes is denatured alcohol (often listed as alcohol denat.). It’s a cheap solvent made with added chemicals that make it undrinkable—but also more drying and irritating to your skin.

While it helps synthetic scents evaporate quickly, it can:

• Strip the skin’s natural barrier
• Trigger inflammation or sensitivity
• Enhance chemical absorption (including EDCs)

Why We Choose Organic Grape Alcohol

At Soluna and Eve, we never use denatured alcohol. Instead, we use Organic Grape Alcohol—a gentle, plant-based alternative that’s clean, non-toxic, and skin-kind. It helps our essential oils bloom beautifully on the skin—without compromising your health.

The Power of Natural, Cycle-Syncing Perfume

At Soluna and Eve, we create luxury, all-natural perfumes that help women sync their rituals with their hormonal health. Each blend is carefully crafted using essential oils that are backed by research studies on their effectiveness for women’s hormonal balance. The perfumes are designed to support each phase of the menstrual cycle, Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulation and Luteal Phases (or moon cycle).

Each blend supports:

• Emotional balance
• Hormonal rhythm
• Stress and cortisol levels

More Than a Scent: A Daily Ritual for Hormonal Wellness

Soluna and Eve perfumes are free from synthetic chemicals, parabens, phthalates, and artificial fragrances. Instead, we use:

• Research backed 100% pure and natural essential oils
• COSMO-approved natural extracts
• Organic undenatured grape alcohol
  

And because scent is one of the fastest ways to shift your nervous system, our perfumes also help:

• Calm the mind
• Reduce PMS-related mood swings
• Ease stress and mental fatigue
• Reconnect you to your cycle in a nourishing, intuitive way

Not Tracking Your Cycle? No Problem

Our perfumes are also aligned with the moon cycles—so even if you’re not syncing to your natural rhythm yet (or are on hormonal birth control), you can still use them to tap into lunar energy and feminine flow.

Ditch the Toxins, Support Your Hormones

Making the switch to cycle-syncing natural perfume isn’t just a clean beauty upgrade—it’s a powerful way to honour your body and its natural rhythms. With Soluna and Eve, every spritz is a step toward balanced hormones, lowered stress, and deeper self-connection.
