fragrance allergen
Terpene alcohol found in lavender, coriander, and many essential oils. Autoxidizes on air exposure to form linalool hydroperoxide, a potent contact allergen. Required to be separately declared on EU/UK cosmetic labels above 10 ppm (rinse-off) or 100 ppm (leave-on).
Linalool is a fragrance allergen backed by a moderate body of supporting evidence (evidence tier 2 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 2 reporting a positive effect.
Contact Dermatitis · 2012 · observational · n=2900
International multicentre study: air-oxidized linalool was a frequent cause of fragrance contact allergy among tested dermatitis patients, supporting inclusion of oxidized linalool in baseline patch-test series and reinforcing fragrance-allergen labelling for linalool.
Contact Dermatitis · 2010 · observational · n=3000
Patch-test study in consecutive dermatitis patients: air-oxidized linalool was a significant contact sensitizer, whereas pure non-oxidized linalool was largely non-reactive — demonstrating that oxidation products rather than the parent compound drive linalool contact allergy.
