Which fragrance allergens need labelling?

EU cosmetics law requires 26 classic fragrance allergens, and — since Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 — around 80 in total, to be individually named in the ingredient list above set thresholds. Paste your INCI/ingredient list below to check which of them are present.

Paste your ingredient list

Comma- or line-separated INCI names, common names, or CAS numbers. Matching is case-insensitive and ignores bracketed asides like “(Lavender)”.

Paste your ingredient list above and check.

Labelling is required once a fragrance allergen exceeds 0.001% in a leave-on product or 0.01% in a rinse-off product. This tool only checks whether a substance is present in your pasted text — it has no concentration data, so it cannot tell you whether your actual formulation crosses that threshold. That's a calculation you (or your supplier's IFRA/composition data) still need to do.

Informational, not legal advice. This list covers the substances of Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 that we're confident of, transcribed from the regulation text — it is not a substitute for the current Annex III text, which you should always check on EUR-Lex. The 2023/1545 expansion carries transition periods: non-compliant products could still be placed on the EU market until 31 July 2026, and sold through until 31 July 2028.

Every substance this checker matches against, with its CAS number and whether it's part of the classic 26 or the 2023 expansion. Same data the checker above uses.
