هيدروكسي أيزوهكسيل (ليرال)
Banned fragrance material · CAS: 31906-04-4
Skip this one - EU-banned
Why this verdict
One of the highest-incidence fragrance contact allergens; PROHIBITED in EU cosmetics via Reg 2017/1410 (off-market from 23 Aug 2021).
What It Is
A muguet/lily synthetic that caused a high number of fragrance allergies.
Banned in the EU because it was one of the single biggest causes of fragrance contact allergy. Still findable in non-EU products - if it's listed, that product is selling an allergen the EU pulled.
