Sensitive skin: fragrance Why?
  • fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.

Is it OK for kids and teens?

Kids (ages 3–11)

Use with care

  • Fragrance or essential oils (Parfum (Fragrance), Hexyl Cinnamal): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.

Teens (ages 12–17)

Teen-friendly

No ingredients we flag for teens. Acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are fine.
