Article Synopsis
- Fragrance chemicals in cosmetics can cause allergic contact dermatitis, influencing allergy prevention strategies to limit fragrance concentrations and inform sensitized consumers.
- A study used a validated GC-MS method to analyze 26 allergens in 108 cosmetic products sold in Saudi Arabia and assessed the allergy risk associated with these products.
- The findings revealed that while most allergens were at safe levels, 19 products posed allergy risks, and two banned fragrances, Lilial and Lyral, were found in 97 items; this study is a first for evaluating fragrance allergen safety in the region.
