  • Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
  • Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

An umbrella term that can hide dozens of undisclosed scent chemicals. Fragrance is the leading cause of allergic contact dermatitis from cosmetics, and dermatologists routinely advise fragrance-free products for eczema, babies and sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Allergy risk:Potent sensitizer, typically blended with MIT (Kathon CG).
  • Irritation:Corrosive in concentrate; irritating at use levels.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

The chlorinated partner of MIT, restricted in the EU to rinse-off products only. A leading cause of preservative contact dermatitis worldwide.

Severity 8/10
Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Allergy risk:Caused an epidemic of contact allergy; banned in EU leave-on products.
  • Irritation:Irritating even in people without allergy.

humectant · solvent

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year 2018.
  • Irritation:Can irritate compromised skin at higher concentrations.

A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:Named Allergen of the Year 2004; impurities (amidoamine) drive most reactions.

A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.

  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen found in tonka bean and many perfumes.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗
