Fragrance Allergens

Fragrance allergens are specific ingredients used in perfumes and scented products that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. When exposed, these substances may trigger symptoms like skin itching, redness, or rashes. Not everyone is affected, but sensitive individuals should check product labels for common allergens such as linalool, limonene, or geraniol. Because fragrances are complex mixtures, they can sometimes be hidden under general terms like “parfum” or “fragrance,” making it important for sensitive consumers to choose products labeled “fragrance-free” or “hypoallergenic.” Awareness helps prevent allergic reactions and skin sensitivities.
