I'd like to see a list of places that actually enforce a scent-free policy (and what scents they include).

Shop elsewhere! And tell them why!
Fragranced products should be in separately vented spaces away from food & other products & materials.
In a store like that, everything gets fragrance contaminated!
Fragrances emit many hazardous VOCs, & chemicals that harm everyone, not just the #HumanCanaries.
My local big box grocery store had 1 fragrance-free bar soap option. It has disappeared from the shelves. What's left? An olfactory cacophony of perfumed products. What would you do? #fragrancefree #scentfree #environmentalsensitivities #harshsmells #synesthete #chemicalsensitivities #vocs

A new analysis of 113 personal care and cleaning products found phthalates in several products labeled “phthalate-free,” along with other chemicals that contradicted their label claims: cen.acs.org/business/con...
