hajusteettomat

Hajusteettomat is a Finnish term used to describe products that are free from added fragrance. It is commonly applied to cosmetics, personal care items, and household cleaners. The label is aimed at consumers who are sensitive to scents, have fragrance allergies, suffer from migraines triggered by smells, or simply prefer products with minimal or no scent.

In practice, hajusteettomat products avoid perfume or fragrance ingredients, including terms like parfum or other fragrance components. Under EU cosmetics regulation, claims of being fragrance-free should be supported by the absence of fragrance ingredients and allergens; if fragrance allergens are present, they must be disclosed in ingredient lists. A fragrance-free product should not rely on added scent, though it may still have a neutral odor from raw materials or processing. Packaging and manufacturing can sometimes introduce incidental odors.

The term is not always strictly regulated across markets, and differences can exist between “hajusteettomat” and other labels such as “unscented.” Therefore, consumers should still read ingredient lists to verify the absence of fragrance additives. It is also possible for a product to be marketed as hajusteeton but not completely odorless if trace scents remain.

Typical product categories include cosmetics (creams, cleansers, shampoos), baby care products, detergents, and household cleaners. Hajusteettomat options offer benefits for sensitive individuals, while awareness of potential trace scents and labeling practices helps ensure accurate consumer expectations.
