fragrance allergen

A fragrance allergen is a substance in perfumes or scented products that can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. When exposed, the immune system may overreact, causing symptoms like skin irritation, redness, itching, or respiratory issues. Not everyone is sensitive, but for those with fragrance allergies, exposure can cause discomfort or health problems. To help prevent reactions, many products now list potential allergens on their labels, allowing sensitive individuals to avoid certain fragrances and better manage their health.
