Allergies and preservatives

Research by the European Union,

(PDF, Acrobat Reader, 0.02 MB)

On page 22 you will find: “Fragrance ingredients have to be considered a leading cause of contact allergy. Further, SCCNFP is of the opinion that information should be provided to consumers about the known presence in cosmetic products of fragrance ingredients with a well-recognised potential to cause contact allergy. It is up to the legislator to consider the best way to provide the information to the consumers”.

SCCNFP: Scientific Committee on Cosmetic and Non-Food-Products intended for Consumers.
