These describe what an ingredient is, not whether it is a problem. The stance marks above are the ratings; these are not.

• common irritantLANOLIN

  • LANOLIN: A rich wool-derived emollient that is also a long-standing patch-test allergen. American Contact Dermatitis Society, Allergen of the Year 2023: "Lanolin: The 2023 American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year", Cutis 2023;112(2):78-81, DOI 10.12788/cutis.0825, PMID 37820332; FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(k), lists lanolin as a skin protectant at 12,5 to 50%.

• fragrance materialMENTHA PIPERITA OIL, EUGENOL, LIMONENE, LINALOOL

  • MENTHA PIPERITA OIL: A cooling essential oil the EU names on its own account as a fragrance substance to be declared on the label. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Annex III entry 361, inserted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1545: a fragrance substance whose presence must be indicated in the list of ingredients above 0,001% in leave-on and 0,01% in rinse-off products. It is declarable in its OWN right, not by way of any component it carries. The name to look for on a label is "Mentha Piperita Oil". The duty applies now. Transition footnote (40) lets stock that does not comply, lawfully placed on the Union market before the 31 July 2026 cut-off, be made available until 31 July 2028.
  • EUGENOL: A clove-scented fragrance component named separately on the label. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Annex III entry 71: a fragrance substance whose presence must be indicated in the list of ingredients above 0,001% in leave-on and 0,01% in rinse-off products, because of established contact-allergy risk.
  • LIMONENE: A citrus-smelling fragrance component named separately on the label; the one name covers three related isomers. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Annex III entry 88: a fragrance substance whose presence must be indicated in the list of ingredients above 0,001% in leave-on and 0,01% in rinse-off products, because of established contact-allergy risk. That entry carries transition footnote (37): stock that does not comply, lawfully placed on the Union market before the 31 July 2026 cut-off, may still be made available until 31 July 2028. It is marked on the racemic dl-limonene/Dipentene line and the (S)-(l-limonene) line, but NOT the (R)-p-mentha-1,8-diene (d-limonene) line, CAS 5989-27-5, whose duty was already running as entry 88 before Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 and so needed no transition. All three isomers are declared under the single glossary name "Limonene", so that name on a label does not identify which of them is present.
  • LINALOOL: A floral fragrance component named separately on the label. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Annex III entry 84: a fragrance substance whose presence must be indicated in the list of ingredients above 0,001% in leave-on and 0,01% in rinse-off products, because of established contact-allergy risk.

  • THEOBROMA CACAO SEED BUTTER: A rich butter the FDA recognises by name as a skin protectant. FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(d): "Cocoa butter, 50 to 100 percent."
