EU Fragrance Allergens Labelling
At a glance
This source can support fragrance-labeling context and why fragrance topics need caution. It cannot decide whether warming a scented lotion is compatible or suitable for sensitive users.
What this source is
This resource entry is a reference entry. It explains how an outside source can be used inside the directory without turning it into product endorsement or universal advice.
What evidence can support
How to use this source in the directory
- Use it when a page needs jurisdiction-specific fragrance allergen labeling context.
- Pair it with FDA allergen and fragrance notes so North American readers understand that labeling frameworks vary by market.
- Use it to support why fragrance pages should discuss ingredient disclosure, labeling thresholds, and source jurisdiction before making stronger statements.
- Treat it as labeling context, not as finished-product testing, scent-sensitivity proof, or warmed-product compatibility evidence.
Cross-reference map
What evidence cannot support
- Fragrance safety guarantees.
- pregnancy suitability scent claims.
- Formula compatibility after warming.
Claim status
Allowed: neutral education, evidence limits, user-language clarification, and source-specific context.
Needs evidence: any specific temperature, formula, compatibility, hot-spot, baby, pregnancy, absorption, barrier, or skin outcome claim.
Do not say: universal user suitability, every-formula compatibility, pregnancy suitability, infant-care suitability, source-specific evidence reviewed, FDA approval wording for this warming method, localized overheating assurance, or improved skin outcomes unless a specific reviewed source and test protocol supports that exact statement.

Evidence limits
Can support: source-family context, conservative definitions, public education language, claim-boundary routing, or method-specific evidence limits.
Cannot support: product-specific compatibility, universal suitability, medical outcome wording, warmed-product performance, or formula-level proof unless the linked source directly reviews that exact claim.
Editorial wording rule
Cite this page as a source note, then cite the most specific question, evidence, formula, or claim-boundary page. Do not use one source note to shortcut finished-formula testing, user-audience suitability, or measured skin outcome language.
