Recently, I’ve seen many commercials on Mercedes vehicles and notice that they are promoting a new featured called “Assist Attention,” which helps the vehicle determine when the driver is falling sleep on the road. A long car ride can fatigue the driver, making them more prone to accidents.

Whether the flavors or fragrances are constructed of natural or synthetic ingredients we have established that both can contribute to the list of safe ingredients and to the list of un-safe ingredients. The origin of the ingredient is a moot point – it is the structure of the ingredient that determines its toxicity / safety profile. [To be clear, the source can be a differentiating factor IF there are multiple ingredients associated with one source or the other including but not limited to structural isomers of the principal ingredient(s). For instance nature frequently creates l (or d) isomers while synthetic versions are usually racemic mixtures (containing both d & l isomers in equal quantities).]

The creation of fragrances that are used in so many products, from fine fragrances to hair care products to scented candles to cleaning products – literally thousands and thousands of products – requires many hundreds and even thousands of different fragrance ingredients. It isn’t enough to think that creating a scent that smells like oranges or grapefruit or any other recognizable, descriptive scent that we know very well will be safe simply because it smells like things that we KNOW in our life experiences to be safe. Is it safe if it is all-natural? As it turns out, it may not be even then. So how do we handle this potential problem?
