Which statement about fragrance-free products is true?

• A. They may be lavender-scented.
• B. They must be fragrance-free with no exceptions
• C. They are always colorless
• D. They are only used for sensitive clients

Answer: (A)

Fragrance-free means no added fragrance or perfume ingredients, but it doesn’t guarantee there’s absolutely no scent at all. If a product uses lavender or lavender-derived ingredients for other purposes, it can still have a natural lavender smell without including a dedicated fragrance component. That’s why the statement about lavender-scented fragrance-free products can be true: the scent isn’t coming from an added perfume, just from ingredients used in the formulation.

The other ideas don’t fit because fragrance-free doesn’t imply complete odorlessness, nor does it require the product to be colorless or limited to use by sensitive clients only. Colorants can be present, and people may choose fragrance-free products for reasons beyond sensitivity.
