Actually, the opposite is true! Chemical dishwash needs strong artificial fragrances to mask the smell of harsh ingredients like SLS, sulfates, and synthetic detergents. That overpowering scent? It's hiding toxins that can trigger headaches, irritation, or sensitivities for many people.

Bioenzymes are created through a natural fermentation process. Pure bioenzyme solutions have a fermented, slightly vinegar-like smell. This is completely normal and actually a sign that the fermentation is active and effective. It's the smell of nature at work. To make your experience more pleasant, we've used pure essential oils to mask that fermented scent. We're continuously working on perfecting our essential oil blends to enhance the fragrance even further. To eliminate the natural scent would require synthetic fragrances — and we will never use those, considering your safety. Synthetic fragrances can cause headaches, allergies, respiratory issues, and contain harmful chemicals like phthalates.

So if you occasionally notice a mild vinegar-like smell, that's completely normal and actually means it's safe. It's the scent of natural fermentation — proof that you're using a completely toxin-free product.
