The dark side of artificial scenting:

toxic chemicals no one tells us about

(and how to replace them)

In the pursuit of a pleasant ambience, 300 000+ people use artificial scenting products without realizing the potential risks involved.

These seemingly innocent scents in our homes are actually hiding dangerous chemicals, for you and your family.
And hey, I'm talking about things we all have at our homes:

These fragrance products are not regulated in any way. The big capitalist companies use anything that gives a good scent and is as cheap as possible. Without taking responsibility for the health of their customers.

It's time to reveal the research and data the big chains don't want us to see. This is the hidden side of artificial fragrance, and how they can threaten the health of you and especially the most vulnerable.

The worst thing for your lungs is polluted air. A large number of studies show that artificial fragrance products pollute your home with soot (like from coal), CO2 and NOx (a climate pollutant).

Even when not lit, they spread harmful substances like formaldehyde (used in paint), benzene (used in superglue) and microparticles that penetrate your lungs.

You wouldn't leave children or pregnant women in a room with soot in the air or smell paint and glue every day, would you?

Children's undeveloped lungs are particularly vulnerable to the toxic particles emitted by these products, increasing the risk of respiratory disorders and allergies.

Several reputable studies have shown that these substances are harmful to brain development, which can affect mood, behaviour, lead to obesity, and migraines and trigger asthma symptoms in our little ones.

PS: There is a natural alternative - organic essential oils that are extracted directly from plants and fruits.

Our beloved pets are also at risk, since they're much more sensitive than us. As revealed in this study, most artificial fragrances areare likely to be harmful to pets.

The substances in these products are volatile, meaning they're easily absorbed directly through the skin from the air.

If your pet gets poisoning from artificial perfume, you may see symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, discharge from the eyes or nose, diarrhoea, vomiting or lethargy. But you may also not even realize what they're doing to your furry friend.

Pets are so sensitive that even some natural essential oils should be avoided - read our guide to safe use for dogs and cats.

95% of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are waste products from crude oil.

Several journalists have highlighted that, according to the Breast Cancer Fund, avoiding synthetic fragrances is one of the ways to prevent cancer.

Acetaldehyde and Toluene are considered carcinogenic, and all artificial fragrance products spread these substances in your home, even if you don't light them!

Cozy scented candles can quickly become a nightmare when safety has been neglected. Poorly made or misused candles can easily cause fires, putting lives and property at risk. The combination of flammable materials, open flames and unattended candles creates a dangerous situation that can turn any home into a fire hazard.

That's why Volant's aroma diffuser has been designed to feature an ultrasonic ceramic plate that vibrates 2.2 million times per second to disperse a cold vapor that disperses fragrance without the risk of fire.

Okay. By now you may be thinking: how do I avoid all these harmful chemicals if I still want a scented home?

This was our motivation for starting Volant.
