The most common allergic reactions to perfume or fragrance added to products is contact allergy,[1][2] although other symptoms may occur, including allergic conjunctivitis.[3]
During patch tests on dermatitis patients in the US, fragrance was found to be the most common allergen found in cosmetics.[4]
Although products can be labeled "fragrance-free", many still contain lesser-known fragrance chemicals that consumers may not recognize.[5]
