According to Insider:
- Pheremone is a compound made of synthetic animal musk and chemicals that stimulate the nose.
- It’s designed to make you smell sexier to others — but it’s unclear if humans can detect pheromones.

What are pheromones?
Pheromones are scents that animals use to send out signals to other animals. These scents can be used to mark territory, identify each other, or attract a mate, says Kerry Hughes, MSc, an ethnobotanist and clinical herbalist in private practice and author of the Botanicals With Benefits series.
We are in the day and age of social media where beauty products you’ve never heard of before are suddenly becoming everything that people are talking about. Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube make these brands suddenly come in huge demand, especially when it comes to new cosmetic products that make you wonder, “Does it really work?”
One brand that has been in the spotlight on social media is Heaux Cosmetics — the brand making everything from sexproof makeup to bottled pheromones. Yes, pheromones.
The Liquid Finesse is an unscented product formulated with oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that humans naturally release when something good happens, causing you to feel elated and relaxed. Heaux Cosmetics bottled this feel-good hormone as one of their ingredients to help people connect with others more easily and ease their anxiety. The company claims that the formulation reduces anxiety within 30 seconds on both you and those around you, helping increase empathy and therefore affect generosity.
“You will feel a soothing, warming sensation from the inside of your body and you’ll feel blissful. You will notice the people you come in contact with are happier, more generous, and friendly around you.” — Heaux Cosmetics
