What Are Parabens, Phthalates & PEGs — And Why We Don’t Use Them in Our Fragrances

When it comes to home fragrance, most people think about how it smells.

Very few think about what’s actually inside it.

But modern households are becoming more ingredient-aware — especially pet owners, parents, and anyone trying to reduce exposure to unnecessary chemicals at home.

That’s where Stacey Jane The Label is different.

Our fragrance pods are proudly free from Parabens, Phthalates, and PEGs — three ingredients commonly found in candles, air fresheners, and fragranced products that many people now choose to avoid.

What Are Parabens?

Parabens are preservatives used to extend shelf life and prevent bacteria growth in cosmetic and fragranced products.

They’re inexpensive and effective — which is why they’re so widely used.

However, parabens are known as endocrine (hormone) disruptors, meaning they can mimic hormones in the body. Because of this, many people prefer to avoid them in products used daily around their home.

What Are Phthalates?

Phthalates are chemicals often used in fragrance products to help scents last longer and disperse more strongly into the air.

They’re commonly found in:

• Candles
• Plug-in air fresheners
• Aerosol sprays
• Synthetic fragrance blends

Like parabens, phthalates are also associated with hormone disruption, and many pet owners and families choose to avoid them — especially in enclosed indoor spaces where fragrance is constantly present.

What Are PEGs (Polyethylene Glycols)?

PEGs are petroleum-based compounds used to dilute ingredients and help fragrances blend with water or air.

They’re often used to create cheaper, more diluted fragrance formulas in mass-produced air fresheners and sprays.

While common, PEGs are another ingredient many people now choose to avoid in favour of cleaner, more premium formulations.

Why This Matters in Home Fragrance

Unlike a perfume you wear occasionally, home fragrance is constantly in your environment.

You breathe it in.

Your pets breathe it in.

Your family lives in it.

That’s why ingredient quality matters more than people realise.

A product that runs 24/7 in your bathroom, bedroom, or living space should be something you feel comfortable having in your air every single day.

Why Stacey Jane The Label Is Different

At Stacey Jane The Label, we designed our fragrance pods for our 24/7 Lux Plug-In Diffuser with this exact awareness in mind.

Our pods are:

🤍 Free from Parabens

🤍 Free from Phthalates

🤍 Free from PEGs

🤍 Filled with undiluted premium fragrance oils — no watery blends

🤍 A flame-free way to scent your home

🤍 Suitable for homes with dogs, cats, and families

We don’t rely on harsh chemical additives to make our fragrances last. Instead, we use quality fragrance oils and a delivery system that gently and consistently scents your space.

The Difference You Can Smell (and Feel Good About)

Many supermarket air fresheners rely on strong dispersal and chemical extenders to create an instant, overpowering smell.

Our approach is different.

We focus on:

• A consistent, subtle scent throw
• Premium oils inspired by cult favourite fragrances
• A system that works without flames, or those toxins

It’s a more modern, conscious way to fragrance your home.

Luxury Without Compromise

You shouldn’t have to choose between:

A beautiful smelling home or

A cleaner, more considered environment for your family and pets.

With Stacey Jane The Label, you get both.

This is home fragrance designed for modern living — where how something smells is just as important as what’s inside it.

Because true luxury isn’t just about scent.

It’s about peace of mind.
