FRAGRANCE-FREE IS BETTER FOR YOUR SKIN
At ZENZ Organic, we look after your skin and your health. That is why we only make products with nature's finest ingredients, and we also have products without fragrance (essential oils). Every year more and more people are diagnosed with fragrance allergy. Fragrance allergy is an allergic reaction to fragrances in care products, which manifests itself in an itchy rash with redness, bumps or blisters.
If you have had an allergic reaction to fragrance once, you will have a fragrance allergy for the rest of your life. Fragrance allergy is a late allergic reaction. This means that the allergenic substances in the fragrance penetrate the skin, where they are met by our immune system. In some people, the immune system goes on alert when it encounters the substance again - which indicates that you have a fragrance allergy.
When the substance comes into contact with the skin, an eczema reaction will occur within the next few days. Since the immune system then becomes ready to fight, you can get eczema anywhere on the body where you encounter the allergen - not just where you got the allergy.
A PART OF THE STORY
Anne-Sophie Skjødt Villumsen is the woman behind the product range ZENZ Organic Products and the Green Hairdressing concept ZENZ Organic Hairdressing. During her apprenticeship as a hairdresser, Anne-Sophie developed an allergy to traditional chemical hair products. In order to continue in the hairdressing profession and at the same time help others with the same challenge, she opened her first ZENZ salon in 1999 with a focus on health, sustainability and organic products. In 2010, ZENZ launched its first professional care products that contained the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. It has since become a complete range under the name ZENZ Organic Products. ZENZ Organic Products is part of the organic ZENZ universe, which today is Denmark's largest Green Hairdressing chain. All the products are made from the highest quality and are based on natural and certified organic ingredients that strengthen and care for the hair and skin.
PREVENTION
Allergies and eczema can be incredibly difficult to deal with and cause great inconvenience. The best way to avoid developing a perfume allergy is to be preventive. In collaboration with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, we at ZENZ Organic Products have become part of the campaign: Fragrance-free is better for your skin. Through this campaign we focus on the habits of young people and their relationships to beauty products. Our aim with this is to change the habits of young people and to stimulate them to use care products without perfume and harmful chemicals. In this way we can help them to prevent themselves from getting a perfume allergy later in life.
ALLERGY-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS WITHOUT PERFUME
At ZENZ Organic, we avoid any potentially harmful substances in all ZENZ products we use and produce. We only use certified ingredients that are natural and organic and gently care for and strengthen hair and skin. If you want to avoid perfume (essential oils) completely, we have developed a special allergy-friendly product series called Pure. All the products in our Pure range carry the AllergyCertified label, which means you can be sure that the products do not contain perfume (essential oils). The Pure product line is made specifically for perfume allergy sufferers, children and pregnant women and people with sensitive skin, who want to completely avoid even natural fragrances. You can therefore safely use the Pure product line for the whole family. At ZENZ we offer professional products specifically developed to take care of you, your family and your health!
