Not All Aromatherapy Sprays Are Created Equally

At Made By Coopers, we believe that wellness should be clean, natural, and honest — right down to the products you spray into the air around you. Aromatherapy has the incredible ability to uplift your mood, ease stress, improve sleep, and support overall wellbeing. But here’s something not everyone knows: not all aromatherapy sprays are created equally.

In fact, many sprays on the market today are filled with synthetic additives and cheap fillers that can actually work against your health goals. Let’s take a closer look at why purity matters, what to watch out for, and how Made By Coopers is raising the bar when it comes to clean, conscious aromatherapy.

The Hidden Dangers of "Parfum" and Artificial Fragrance

If you scan the ingredient label on many room or pillow sprays, you’ll often find the word "parfum" or "fragrance" listed. While it may sound harmless, these terms are legally allowed to hide hundreds of synthetic chemicals — including phthalates, petroleum derivatives, and allergens.

Breathing in artificial fragrance can lead to headaches, dizziness, respiratory irritation, skin sensitivities, and even long-term hormone disruption. For anyone seeking true wellness, it’s vital to avoid these hidden toxins. True aromatherapy should come from pure, plant-based essential oils, not a cocktail of synthetic chemicals.

At Made By Coopers, we never use artificial fragrance or parfum in any of our sprays. We only use 100% natural, therapeutic-grade essential oils, carefully chosen for their benefits to the mind and body. When you inhale one of our sprays, you can breathe easy knowing it's pure nature — nothing else.

Water-Based vs. Alcohol-Based Sprays

Another major difference between aromatherapy sprays is the base ingredient. Many mainstream brands use alcohol as the base of their sprays. While alcohol can act as a preservative and help disperse scent quickly, it also comes with downsides:

• It can dry out your skin if sprayed nearby or on to pillows.

• It can irritate sensitive noses and lungs.

• It can overpower delicate essential oils with a sharp, harsh scent.

That’s why at Made By Coopers, we chose a water-based formula for all our sprays. Water is naturally gentle and allows the pure essential oils to remain the star of the show. Our sprays deliver a fine, refreshing mist without the sting of alcohol — safe for your skin, your senses, and your space.

Why Clean Formulas Matter for True Wellness

When you use aromatherapy for self-care, relaxation, sleep, or energy, you’re trusting that what you breathe in will support your wellbeing. That’s why clean, honest formulas aren’t just a "nice-to-have" — they’re essential.

A truly therapeutic aromatherapy spray should only include ingredients that serve a purpose: pure essential oils for their benefits, a clean base (like water), and natural stabilisers if needed — nothing hidden, nothing harmful.

At Made By Coopers, we’re proud to craft every spray with intention. From our bestselling Sleepy Head Pillow Mist to our uplifting Happy Room Spray, every bottle is designed to bring you real wellness benefits without compromise.

No artificial fragrance. No harsh chemicals. No shortcuts. Just pure, plant-powered wellness.
