That's a great question and an important distinction. When your tattoo artist says to avoid "fragrance," they're typically referring to synthetic fragrance oils, which are made from lab-created chemicals and can cause irritation, allergic reactions, or disrupt healing, especially on broken skin.
At Urban's Edge, our products are never scented with synthetic fragrances. Instead, we use pure essential oils, which are natural plant extracts known for their healing, soothing, and antimicrobial properties. For example, lavender, tea tree, and frankincense oils can actually support recovery when used at proper dilution levels. Our formulations use these essential oils at safe, industry-recommended percentages that enhance healing without compromising your tattoo color, integrity, or recovery. So while our products may have a light natural scent, they are 100% free from synthetic fragrance and completely aligned with safe tattoo aftercare.
