Michelle,
If you are using a synthetic fragrance in a product that contains nearly all "natural" ingredients, your product would be considered "nearly natural".
It is my opinion that it is far more important to be truthful in your product labeling and state rather a synthetic fragrance oil is being used and let the customer decide rather they want a product with a synthetic fragrance or one derived from an essential oil.
Sincerely,
Melanie

Thanks Stacy,
This was very helpful! I live in a HUGE city and the problem is
making my line stand out for the others as so many people are doing
the natural thing here.
But my question is...once you add fragrances, does it now exclude the
product from being called natural?

sample vials and a card to pass out to people they meet. Getting
your name out is the biggest hurdle I have found. If you make
quality products, at a reasonable price (meaning not too high or low)
you will have return customers and that is the best way I found to
get my business to grow. I have not had much success with newspaper
ads, but that could be the area I am in.

of Aromatherapy products and synthetic fragrance oil products,
because they are fun and in demand. My base ingredients are
basically the same, meaning all natural, but I actually sell more of
the synthetic fragranced products. I guess it is what people are
used to. Older people tend to migrate to the essential oil/all
natural/old fashioned type products.
