Which fragrance allergens must be labelled on a cosmetic?
Direct answer
Fragrance allergens covered by Annex III must be individually listed in the ingredients when their concentration exceeds 0.001% in a leave-on product or 0.01% in a rinse-off product. The group names prescribed by certain entries must be followed. [eu-1545] [eu-current]
Regulatory status
Permitted under conditions The Regulation of 26 July 2023 adds individual labelling for 56 allergens and revises certain existing entries. These thresholds trigger labelling information; they are not general concentration limits. [eu-1545]
Restrictions and conditions of use
Products covered by the transitional provisions could be placed on the market until 31 July 2026 and may be made available until 31 July 2028, subject to the conditions in the corresponding notes. On 31 October 2026, the first deadline has passed and the second remains in the future. [eu-1545]
