    I decided to discontinue use of almost all fragrances and essential oils except for one leave in hair product and one conditioner. Could this still cause irritation for customers with sensitive skin?

    Well, for some consumers ANY ingredient in your formula could cause sensitivity. It’s just that there are more ingredients in the fragrance that could cause the problem for more consumers. But it is generally true that the lower you go in fragrance, the less exposure people get, and the less chance that they will experience a problem.
