🔥Hot Take:
- The speaker is right that 'fragrance' is a legal loophole for thousands of undisclosed chemicals, but calling your face a 'sponge' that poisons your liver is more science-fiction than dermatology.
- Swapping synthetic fragrance for essential oils isn't the safety hack they think it is; many essential oils are potent allergens that cause the exact 'skin irritation' the speaker is trying to avoid.
