This Is Fragrance, Made Transparent
About Us
You shouldn’t have to choose between scent and safety
At Layermor, we create clean fragrances with nothing-to-hide ingredients, designed to be layered and to last. Every formula is disclosed in full, verified by science, and built for all-day performance.
Hi, I’m Ella. The founder behind Layermor.
"Fragrance is one of the most intimate products we use. It touches our skin, our hair, our clothes, and even the people we hug. And yet, it’s one of the least transparent categories in beauty. For decades, brands have hidden thousands of undisclosed ingredients under one little word: fragrance. Layermor exists to change that.
I wanted clean scent that doesn’t fade, formulas you can actually trust, and a way of wearing fragrance that feels intentional. Every product is made for layering, so you can build a signature that lasts all day, in your own way.

One word can hide 3,200+ undisclosed ingredients
Most perfumes hide behind the word fragrance on their labels. That one word can cover a cocktail of chemicals — more than 3,200 undisclosed ingredients, including endocrine disruptors like phthalates and parabens. These hidden toxins are linked to hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, and even cancer.
And here’s the hardest part: brands aren’t legally required to tell you. So you’re left in the dark about what you’re actually putting on your skin. No wonder scientists advise us to steer clear.
How We Verify Safety
Transparency is only the first step. Safety is the standard.
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
Layering has been part of fragrance culture for centuries, from Middle Eastern attars to French parfumerie. But at Layermor, it’s our foundation.
Each product — perfume, body oil, and hair perfume — is long-lasting on its own. But when layered together, they extend wear, deepen complexity, and create a scent that feels uniquely yours.
We call it Layer to Last. Because fragrance should move with you from morning to night, not fade by noon.
OUR MISSION
A Better Standard for Scent
We believe fragrance deserves the same scrutiny as skincare and wellness. That means:
- 100% ingredient transparency (no secrets, ever)
- Toxin-free formulas backed by independent science
- Sustainable design choices that protect both people and planet
- Performance without compromise — clean fragrances that actually last
Layermor is building a new category in fragrance: one where safety, transparency, and performance coexist.
We’re building a better future for fragrance. One where transparency is the norm, safety is non-negotiable, and long-lasting performance is the baseline.
