Parfum

fragrance

Severity 7/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • 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.

Alcohol

solvent

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Drying when high on the ingredient list; negligible in trace amounts.

Plain ethanol — position on the label matters: near the top it is drying; near the bottom it is a harmless solvent trace.

Linalool

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.
EU CLP Skin Sens. 1B ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

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.

Ethylhexylglycerin

preservative booster · skin conditioning

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.
EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

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