The Wild Apollo Difference

We are the only cologne brand made specifically for men that guarantees 100% ingredient transparency, using only high quality ingredients. Other cologne brands use 20 to 100 ingredients that sound like a chemistry experiment. We use a small number of natural ingredients you can actually understand in plain English.

We are proud to bring men like you an alternative. Now you can have the confidence of smelling great without having to compromise on your high standards for health.

We've used a special high-purity ethanol derived via fermentation from renewable plant-based sources that is recognized as a high quality and safe choice for cologne. It serves as an excellent carrier because it is odorless, perfectly dissolving fragrance oils. This ensures your skin is left with only the intended scent, making it a reliable and non-toxic option for fine fragrance.

Or More Natural Origin Ingredients in Final Formula

We performed an assessment of Blue Ridge according to the principles of ISO 16128-1 and ISO 16128-2, which provide guidelines for defining the natural origin content of cosmetic ingredients and finished products. These statistics are based on these standards.

We Don't Formulate With Any Of These Ingredients:

Phthalates (including DEP, DBP, DEHP, BBP)

These are often linked to endocrine disruption and potential effects on reproductive health and development.

Parabens (including methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butylparaben)

Primarily used as preservatives, they can mimic estrogen and are considered endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

Formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents

These are known human carcinogens and can act as strong skin irritants and allergens.

PEGs (polyethylene glycols)

While generally low-risk themselves, they are often contaminated with trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, which are considered potential human carcinogens.

Synthetic dyes or colorants

These can often cause skin irritation and some specific colorants are linked to potential carcinogenic effects or contamination with heavy metals.

Nitro musks and polycyclic musks

These persistent ingredients can accumulate in the body and environment and are suspected endocrine disruptors.

Animal-derived ingredients

These are avoided for ethical reasons related to animal welfare and to prevent the potential risk of pathogen contamination.
