Fragrance-Free Policy
At Yellow Bear Journeys, we are committed to making our Eco Journeys as fragrance-free as possible. Fragrances can trigger asthmatic, allergic, and migraine reactions in many people. The American Lung Association, Centers for Disease and Control, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, American Medical Association, and National Acadamy of Sciences, among others, have identified perfumes and/or fragrances as allergy or asthma triggers, or as containing toxic ingredients. Fragrance sensitivity is one special need we try and meet on every Journey. We ask you not to wear fragrances on the Journeys. We travel at close quarters. Please help protect the air we share.
Finding travel and lodging choices which are fragrance-free can be a challenge. Yellow Bear Journeys uses travel and lodging companies who have fragrance-free policies when possible. Next, we look for travel and lodging companies which do not use fragrance, but do not have fragrance-free policies for their guests. Then we look for travel and lodging companies who use a minimum of fragrance, and who we can work with to remove the fragrance before we use their services.
We ask you not to wear fragrances on our eco journeys. Finding scent-free products, especially on short notice, May require some effort. We have many years of experience, and a large database and networks through which we can help you find unscented products. We hope to be able to provide scent-free products for the journey participants at some future point in time. We can also help you find products which will remove scents and which will help you travel if you are sensitive to scents.
Essential Oils and Natural Fragrances are usually less toxic than artificial fragrances. However, some people are sensitive to essential oils so we ask you to refrain from using them. Some studies have shown that heating essential oils causes them to give off toxic chemicals.
We appreciate your help with this health issue. You do what you can, and we will do what we can to provide fresh air on these journeys. One step we will take, only as a last resort, is remove people from the journey, without reimbursement, who deliberately violate this policy.
