  • Title: How to test for fragrance allergy.
    Author: Larsen WG.
    Journal: Cutis; 2000 Jan; 65(1):39-41. PubMed ID: 10664875.
    Abstract:
    Fragrance is the most common cause of cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. Fragrance allergy detection is best accomplished by testing with the fragrance mixture, balsam of Peru, and either jasmine synthetic or absolute. It would be desirable to have common fragrance allergens listed on cosmetic labels so that patients could avoid the allergens to which they are allergic.
