“Natural allergens”, what are they?
From AbdesSalaam Attar’s interview on Fragrantica
ASA: The so-called “natural allergens” are 16 molecules present in most essential oils that are “allergen by law,” but they are disobedient and persistently refuse to cause allergies to people.
The body that recently decided that most natural essences are “legally” unsafe is IFRA, International Fragrance Association, a private entity representing the interests of the corporations of the fragrance industry. The power of IFRA is measured by the fact that the smallest of all creatures, atoms and molecules, refuse to take this organism into consideration.
In my fragrances might be naturally present the 16 so-called “natural allergens” contained in essential oils. They are:
- cinnamic alcohol
- hexyl cinnamal
- citral
- eugenol
- geraniol
- hydroxycitronellal
- isoeugenol
- anisic alcohol
- benzilbenzoate
- benzyl cinnamate
- citronellol
- d- limonene
- cinnamaldehyde
- farnesol
- linalool
- evernia prunastri extract
