Regulatory umbrella term hiding 50–200+ undisclosed compounds. A leading cause of cosmetic contact dermatitis.
What it does
Cosmetic 'fragrance' or 'parfum' is a regulatory shorthand covering hundreds of distinct aroma chemicals. Most need not be disclosed individually. Many are well-tolerated; a recognized subset — including linalool, limonene, geraniol, cinnamal, and eugenol — appears on FDA and EU sensitizer watch lists. Fragranced and unfragranced products perform identically on skin; fragrance is added for sensory experience, not skin benefit. People with sensitive skin, eczema, rosacea, or a history of contact dermatitis usually do better with fragrance-free formulas.
