Ingredo.app for fragrance allergy
Yes — turn on the Fragrance-allergy profile and Ingredo.app checks every cosmetic you scan against the EU's full Annex III list of 26+ named fragrance allergens, hard-blocking any that are declared on the ingredient list, with the regulation cited behind each flag. It's an informational aid — always check the physical label, since undeclared trace fragrance can still occur.
The EU requires fragrance allergens above a concentration threshold to be named on the label (e.g. limonene, linalool, citral) — Ingredo.app reads these directly from the ingredient list.
Below the labelling threshold, an allergen can still be present but undeclared; if you have a confirmed contact allergy, patch testing remains the reliable check.
What Ingredo.app flags for a Fragrance-allergy profile
Any declared Annex III fragrance allergen is a hard block; undeclared trace fragrance is flagged as a precaution.
Hard block
- Any of the 26+ EU Annex III fragrance allergens when declared (e.g. limonene, linalool, citral, eugenol)
- Parfum / fragrance mixes explicitly listing a known allergen
Check the label
- Generic "parfum" with no allergen breakdown, below the mandatory declaration threshold
Good match
- Fragrance-free products with no declared Annex III allergen
