Fragrance-Free vs Scented Cosmetic Products
Fragrance is one of the few cosmetic attributes where the absence of a claim is regularly mistaken for the presence of one. This page sets out exactly what Amplified Glow says, product by product.
This looks across the whole Amplified Glow catalogue.

Choose Stated fragrance free when
- You are avoiding added fragrance and want that stated by the brand.
- You have a known fragrance sensitivity.
- You want the safest option in the catalogue on this specific attribute.
Consider Stated scented when
- You want a scent and know which one you like.
- The scent is part of why you are buying — as with the cooling muscle rub.
Silence is not a claim
Five Amplified Glow products make no fragrance statement in either direction. That means it’s unknown whether they contain fragrance — not that they’re fragrance-free.
Two of those five disclose ingredients that carry scent on their own: the cleanser names orange peel oil, and the vitamin C serum names citrus-adjacent and botanical oils. Those disclosures are about the ingredients' formulation roles, not about the product's scent, and they do not resolve the question either.
Scented does not mean poorly formulated
Nothing here suggests scented products are worse. The muscle rub's peppermint and eucalyptus are the reason to buy it. The haircare scents are a deliberate product decision offered in two options so people can pick.
The point is narrower: if you need to avoid fragrance, you need a product that says so, and only two Amplified Glow products do.
What is missing across the whole catalogue
No Amplified Glow product publishes its fragrance composition or any allergen declarations. For the scented haircare products in particular, that means someone with a known fragrance allergy cannot screen them from the website. Contacting the brand before buying is the only route available.

Frequently asked questions
Which Amplified Glow products are fragrance free?
The GHK-Cu + SNAP-8 Peptide Renewal Serum and the Copper Peptide Renewal Serum. Both state it explicitly.
Is the vitamin C serum fragrance free?
Amplified Glow doesn’t say. The page makes no fragrance claim, but it does list botanical oils that carry scent — so its fragrance status is simply unstated.
Can I find out what creates the berry or lavender scent?
Not from the website. No fragrance composition or allergen information is published for any Amplified Glow product.

Fragrance-free vs scented products
Fragrance free means no fragrance ingredients were added. Unscented is a different claim and can include masking fragrance. A product that says nothing about fragrance has told you nothing — it is not a fragrance-free claim. If you need to avoid fragrance, you need a product that states it, and you often need allergen information that most brands do not publish.

Not disclosed means the brand does not publish it. Not verified means a value may exist but we have not confirmed it. Brand disclosed means the brand states it and we are reporting that accurately without independently confirming it. None of these means zero, and none of them is filled with an estimate — a table with honest blanks is more useful than one with invented numbers.
