Abstract:
The project investigates the occurrence of fragrance ingredients and preservatives in deodorants on the Danish marked. Of 97 products 65.9 % contained one or more of the 26 perfume substances that must be declared and 40 % contained preservatives. The most frequent used preservative was triclosan followed by parabenes and phenoxy ethanol. The risk assessment of selected allergens showed that the concentration in the products of these substances in some cases can pose a risk for persons suffering from allergy.

Abstract in Danish:
Forekomsten af udvalgte duftstoffer og konserveringsmidler er blevet kortlagt i deodoranter på det danske marked. Af 97 produkter indeholdt 65,9 % et eller flere af de 26 deklarationspligtige parfumestoffer og 40 % indeholdt konserveringsmidler. Det hyppigst anvendte konserveringsmiddel var triclosan efterfulgt af parabener og phenoxyethanol. Risikovurderingen af udvalgte allergener viste, at koncentrationen i produkterne i visse tilfælde kan udgøre en risiko for personer med allergi.
