Dior Miss Dior Eau de Parfum

Ethanol-based solvent carrier (~80% of formula). Drying to skin but otherwise inert.

Trade-secret blanket term that legally conceals dozens to hundreds of individual aromachemicals. Designer fragrance blends almost always contain synthetic polycyclic musks (Galaxolide, Tonalide) — endocrine disruptors that bioaccumulate in human fat tissue, breast milk, and wastewater — alongside Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and historically DEP phthalate solvents. No disclosure obligation in the US.

Solvent; safe.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen and weak photoallergen. Recent SCCS reviews have raised concerns about possible endocrine activity at typical fine-fragrance use levels.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Air-oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are confirmed contact sensitizers — exposure is high in spray-on fragrance.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Oxidizes on skin and in the bottle into stronger sensitizers; one of the top causes of fragrance contact dermatitis. Required label disclosure means it is present above 0.001% in this leave-on product.

Chemical UV filter added to prevent fragrance discoloration in clear bottles. Documented photoallergen; mild estrogenic activity in cell and animal studies. Unnecessary in a product that isn't a sunscreen.

EU 26 fragrance allergen and well-documented strong dermal sensitizer. The closely related Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (HICC / Lyral) was banned by the EU in 2021 for the same class of sensitization issues; hydroxycitronellal itself remains restricted but is repeatedly cited in patch-test registries as a top fragrance allergen.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with rose-like odor. Documented skin sensitizer; oxidation products are even more reactive.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Category 2 skin sensitizer; the EU SCCS has flagged it for cumulative exposure risk across multiple fragranced products.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Recognized dermal sensitizer; one of the most frequently cited fragrance allergens in patch-test studies.

Benign perfuming agent / alcohol denaturant. Generally safe for skin contact.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen and known dermal sensitizer; SCCS has flagged repeated leave-on exposure as a concern.

Cleaner antioxidant alternative to BHT. Used at <0.8% to prevent oxidative degradation.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with floral-musky odor. Documented dermal sensitizer.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with strong sensitizing potential — IFRA restricts maximum use levels in leave-on products specifically because of its high contact-allergy rate.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen; cinnamate-class compounds are frequent contact sensitizers.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen; documented dermal sensitizer.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with mild preservative function; contact dermatitis is documented in spray fragrances.

Cleaner light-stabilizer / antioxidant (Tinogard Q) used to slow oxidation of fragrance dyes and aromachemicals. Generally well-tolerated and considered a safer alternative to BHT.

IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Clove-derived; documented strong dermal sensitizer with IFRA-restricted use levels in leave-on products.

Coal-tar xanthene dye added for bottle color. Listed irritant and possible contact sensitizer in topical use per published cosmetic-safety panels. Aesthetic-only.

Coal-tar azo dye used for the bottle aesthetic. Azo dyes are a known class of contact sensitizers in topical/leave-on products and are phased out by clean-formulation brands.

Coal-tar azo dye (Tartrazine) added for bottle color. Frequent contact-sensitizer in topical products; aesthetic-only addition. FDA-banned in foods in California (2024) for behavioral effects.

Coal-tar-derived violet dye (Ext. Violet 2) added purely for bottle aesthetics. Provides zero functional benefit on a leave-on spray product. Documented skin sensitizer in EU SCCS reports.
