Crème antirides pour le visage Vrai — ingredient safety report

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

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.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidation products are potent sensitizers.

The citrus-peel scent molecule. Like linalool, it becomes allergenic mainly after oxidizing in opened products.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.

A floral scent molecule found in lavender and many essential oils. It oxidizes on air exposure into strongly sensitizing compounds, which is why it must be declared on EU labels.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; lemon-scented sensitizer.

The lemon-scent molecule in lemongrass and citrus oils, a recognized contact allergen requiring EU label declaration.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; clove-scented sensitizer.

The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.

• Allergy risk:Degradation products can cause photoallergy when unstabilized.

The main UVA filter in US sunscreens. Safe when properly stabilized, but it breaks down in sunlight into potentially sensitizing fragments in poorly formulated products.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable fragrance allergen.

A violet-type scent chemical requiring EU allergen declaration.

• Allergy risk:EU-declarable fragrance allergen.

A floral fixative on the EU allergen list, with early-stage evidence of weak hormonal activity being evaluated by regulators.

• Irritation:Irritating at higher concentrations or in leave-on products.
• Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen.

A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.

• Irritation:Above ~10% it becomes keratolytic and can sting on broken skin.

A natural moisturizing factor: hydrating below 10%, callus-softening above. Valuable in eczema care despite stinging on open skin.

• Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.

A preservative booster often paired with phenoxyethanol; low-risk overall with rare reports of contact allergy.

• Environmental impact:Not biodegradable; accumulates in the environment via wash-off.

The workhorse silicone — inert and non-sensitizing on skin (even FDA-approved as a skin protectant), with persistence in the environment as its main criticism.

• Environmental impact:Persistent silicone, like dimethicone.

A silicone gum for silky slip; skin-inert with the family's usual environmental-persistence criticism.

• Environmental impact:Poorly biodegradable; can remobilize heavy metals in waterways.

A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.
