Why EU requires fragrance allergen disclosure
Under EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, certain fragrance substances that are known allergens must be declared on the label when they are present above specified thresholds in the finished product. For leave-on products the threshold is 0.001% (10 ppm), and for rinse-off products it is 0.01% (100 ppm). The list of substances subject to mandatory declaration is set out in Annex III of the regulation (and has been amended over time). Your fragrance supplier typically provides a disclosure sheet with the levels of these substances in the concentrate or in the finished product.
This tool does not replace a formal label review. It helps you turn your allergen disclosure (ppm or %) into a structured “declare vs review” pre-check and a quote-ready brief for an EU/UK Responsible Person or label reviewer, who will confirm thresholds and naming and ensure your full label (INCI list, warnings, PAO, etc.) is compliant.
Allergen labeling pre-check
Enter your product type and paste allergens as lines like Limonene, 12 ppm or Linalool: 0.002%.

How to use (fast)
I have a fragrance house disclosure (finished product)
Paste the list, set leave-on/rinse-off, and run the tool. The output separates “likely declare” vs “review” and generates a message you can send to a label reviewer or Responsible Person.
I only have the concentrate disclosure
You need the fragrance use level in the finished product to convert concentrate values into finished-product values. If you don’t have it yet, run the tool anyway and it will produce the missing-info questions for your reviewer.
FAQ
Does this cover every EU update automatically?
No. EU requirements evolve. This tool is intentionally designed as an intake + pre-check generator so you can route a clean brief to a qualified reviewer who will validate against the current rules and your exact product.
What else should be reviewed besides allergens?
Common adjacent work: full label review (INCI list, warnings), claims review, CPSR/PIF compilation, and EU/UK product notifications (CPNP/SCPN).
Why are leave-on and rinse-off thresholds different?
Exposure duration and skin contact differ: leave-on products stay on the skin longer, so the regulatory threshold for mandatory declaration is lower (10 ppm). Rinse-off products have a higher threshold (100 ppm) because exposure is shorter.
My fragrance house gave me concentrate levels only. What do I do?
You need the fragrance use level in the finished product (e.g. 0.5% or 1%) to convert concentrate levels to finished-product levels. If you don’t have it yet, run the tool anyway — the output will include the questions your label reviewer will need (e.g. “What is the fragrance dose in the finished product?”).
Does this apply to the UK too?
UK cosmetics regulation aligns with the EU on fragrance allergen labeling; the same Annex III substance list and similar threshold logic apply. A UK Responsible Person or label reviewer can confirm UK-specific wording and SCPN requirements.
