Why "fragrance-free" matters
Fragrance is the #1 cause of cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. The single label term "Parfum" can hide dozens of undisclosed compounds, which is why patients with eczema, rosacea, or confirmed contact allergy are often told to use "fragrance-free" products only. Note: "unscented" and "fragrance-free" are not the same — unscented products often contain masking fragrances.
Frequently asked questions
Does "natural fragrance" count?
Yes. Natural and synthetic fragrance compounds both trigger allergies; "natural fragrance" is treated as a flag.
What about products labelled "unscented"?
"Unscented" frequently means a masking fragrance was added to neutralise raw-material smell. Always check the actual ingredient list — that's exactly what this tool does.
Should I avoid all the EU 26 allergens?
Only if you've patch-tested positive to one of them. The EU disclosure rule exists so allergic patients can avoid their specific trigger — for everyone else, these compounds are safe.
