We're setting a new standard: clean fragrance, without compromise.
Clean Fragrance. No Compromises.
A Note from Ella
"Growing up, scent was a ritual. My mom taught me that layering (body oil, hair mist, perfume, etc.) was the secret to making scent last. Over the years, my collection grew and grew.
But when I started navigating hormonal health issues and becoming more mindful of ingredients, fragrance was the first thing I had to cut.
The issue is that thousands of chemicals, including hormone disruptors and carcinogens, can legally hide behind the word “fragrance.”
I couldn’t find anything clean that actually performed. Sorting through vague "clean" claims was exhausting. Truly transparent options were nonexistent, especially for someone who loved to layer.
So I created what I couldn’t find: non-toxic, ingredient-transparent fragrances designed to be layered and to last.
Thank you for being here. I’m so happy you found us."

THE ISSUE & WHY CLEAN FRAGRANCE MATTERS
3,200+ Undisclosed Ingredients Behind 'Fragrance'
Fragrance shouldn’t be a mystery. But globally, the word “fragrance” can legally conceal thousands of undisclosed chemicals, including known hormone disruptors and possible carcinogens.
Many conventional formulas include phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, despite growing health concerns.
Fragrance touches everything. It lingers on your skin, your sheets, your space. Yet it remains one of the least regulated categories in beauty.
That disconnect is what drove us to create Layermor. Clean formulas, full ingredient transparency, and no compromise on performance.
How We Verify Safety
The word “clean” gets thrown around a lot, but the truth is, it has no regulated definition.
At Layermor, we define it through rigorous safety standards, full ingredient transparency, and independent scientific review.
Toxicologist Vetted
It’s not enough to avoid the worst offenders. What we do include matters just as much. That’s why every single ingredient in our formulas is reviewed and signed off by an independent PhD toxicologist specializing in ingredient safety.
Each ingredient undergoes a thorough hazard and risk assessment, with particular attention to endpoints including:
- Endocrine disruption
- Carcinogenicity
- Reproductive and developmental toxicity
- Systemic toxicity
- Skin sensitization and irritation
- Environmental persistence and bioaccumulation
Our toxicological reviews are conducted using authoritative scientific frameworks and regulatory references. These include—but are not limited to—the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards, Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and OECD guidelines.
Importantly, our evaluations account for not just the hazard profile of an ingredient, but also its concentration in the final formula and real-world exposure scenarios. If there’s any uncertainty or data gap, we don’t use it—period.
We don’t rely solely on outdated or inconsistent global standards. We use them as a baseline, then apply stricter, evidence-based criteria to ensure every formula reflects the highest level of safety science available today.
Clinically Tested
Our perfumes are clinically and dermatologist tested via a 52-subject Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT).
Results:
- 0 cases of irritation or sensitization
- No adverse events
Found it to be:
- Non-Irritating
- Non-Sensitizing
100% Ingredient Transparency
We think you deserve to know exactly what you're putting on your skin.
That's why we disclose every single ingredient. 'Fragrance' on a label is a black box that can hide 3,200+ undisclosed ingredients, including known toxins and known hormone disruptors like phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.
We're pulling back the curtain and list every. single. ingredient.
EWG-Verified
Layermor is one of a very few to carry this certification. EWG, or the Environmental Working Group, sets the gold standard with extensive safety criteria, including a restricted list that excludes any ingredient banned in the EU, Canada, or California.
The EWG-Verified™ program is the only third-party certification or evaluation program that publicly discloses its full criteria, has scientists on staff, and requires full transparency of ingredients, including fragrance.
Cosmetics sold in the U.S. can contain:
- 33 ingredients banned in Canadian cosmetics.
- 85 ingredients banned in European cosmetics.
- 25 ingredients not allowed in EU hair dyes.
- 27 ingredients known to the state of California to cause cancer.
- 8 ingredients known to the state of California to be developmental toxins.
Smarter Synthetics, Carefully Selected
Some of the most iconic scent notes like musk and ambergris simply can’t be replicated naturally without ethical or safety issues.
That’s why we use next-generation synthetic molecules that are biodegradable, non-bioaccumulative, and rigorously reviewed.
These newer synthetic musks differ significantly from older classes like polycyclic musks (e.g., galaxolide), which are persistent, bioaccumulative, and linked to hormone disruption.
We use a new generation of synthetic musks that are structurally different from the older types that raised safety concerns. Ours are carefully selected for their safety, biodegradability, and clean profile.
WHY LAYERING MATTERS
The Art of Layering
The ritual of layering scent dates back centuries. In ancient Egypt and across the Middle East, oils and attars were worn in succession to build fragrance that lingered.
We took that timeless practice and reimagined it for the modern routine. Every Layermor product is designed to work across multiple touchpoints — skin, hair, and body — with formats that build on one another to extend wear and deepen scent.
OUR MISSION
A Better Standard for Scent
Most people don’t know what’s hiding in their perfume. And that’s not their fault; it’s the industry’s.
We built Layermor to change that. We believe you shouldn’t have to trade performance for peace of mind, or give up scent altogether just to feel safe.
We’re not here to scare you. We’re here to give you better options. Clean fragrance should feel good, smell amazing, and never make you question what’s inside.
