Abstract:
109 lip care products has been investigated for the contents of perfume and lipids. 20 products were analysed for 26 sensitising fragrances. 19 of the 20 analysed products (95%) contain one or more sensitising fragrances. Health assessments have been made for the substances linalool, geraniol, benzyl benzoate, eugenol and methyl eugenol. Although the exposure calculations show low daily exposure when using lip care products, it should be pointed out that as there is no lower concentration limit for the substances' ability to elicit sensitising effects, exposure pose a risk of developing allergy in particular sensitive persons, including children, from products with a high content of fragrances.

Abstract in Danish:
109 læbeplejeprodukter er undersøgt for indhold af parfukestoffer og fedtstoffer iht inci deklaration. 20 produkter er analyseret for indhold af 26 allergifremkaldende duftstoffer. Resultater af analyser viser, at 19 af de 20 analyserede produkter (95 %) indeholder en eller flere allergifremkaldende parfumestoffer. Der er lavet sundhedsmæssige vurderinger for stofferne linalool, geraniol, benzyl benzoat, eugenol og methyleugenol. På trods af at eksponeringsberegningerne viser en lav daglig eksponering ved brug aflæbeplejeprodukterne påpeges det, at da der ingen nedre koncentrationsgrænse er for stoffers evne til at virke sensibiliserende, kan der for de produkter, hvor der er fundet højt indhold af parfumestoffer, være risiko for udvikling af allergi hos særligt følsomme personer, herunder børn.
