Linalool & allergens
My client is allergic to Linalool etc, can they use Eve Taylor products?
You may have noticed on some product ingredient listings (INCI) several words listed at the very bottom such as Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene, Citral, Eugenol etc.
Whilst some people may assume these are ingredients, they are in fact constituents of essential oils, which must be listed by law as they are classed as potential ‘allergens’.
This law applies to products of all brands which are formulated with essential oils or any ingredient with an aromatic odor (this includes perfume oils, scented candles, bubble bath, scented body cream).
All essential oils are made up of multiple constituents called chemotypes which are the entity of the plants they are derived from, these include terpene alcohols, sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes etc and are the therapeutic element of the essential oil which gives the fragrant aroma.
They are found naturally within the essential oil and are not ‘added’ as an additional ingredient into a formulation.
Some clients can develop sensitivity to the constituents of essential oils such as Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene etc and so for these clients we recommend avoiding products containing essential oils.
Our Skincare Navigator Volume 5.1 and Spa Body Navigator Volume 5 lists all ingredients and so these resources are your first point of reference to ensure you are using the products suitable for your clients skin.
