# Going Fragrance-Free: The Swap List (2026)

> High-yield fragrance-free swaps: laundry, air fresheners, personal care, cleaners, candles/diffusers, and shared-space negotiation—unscented as default.

The short answer

Default to **unscented laundry**, kill plug-ins, choose true fragrance-free personal care, then cleaners and candles. See [EPA IAQ](https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq) and our [fragrances guide](https://healthcanon.com/environmental-health/endocrine-disrupting-fragrances-guide).

“Unscented” and “fragrance-free” are not always synonyms—read labels.

## How to use this roundup

Swap continuous emitters first; optional fine fragrances are a separate social choice.
