Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum
At a glance
Summary
Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum scores 9/100. A women's tuberose-jasmine white-floral from Coty-owned Gucci Beauty. Critical issues: (1) contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (octinoxate) — confirmed endocrine disruptor with estrogen-receptor binding, banned in Hawaii and Pacific reef jurisdictions for hormone disruption; (2) contains cinnamal (EU 26 top-strength sensitizer, IFRA-capped at very low levels) plus isoeugenol (EU 26 top-strength sensitizer, capped at 0.02% by IFRA) plus eugenol plus hydroxycitronellal (top-class sensitizer in same family as EU-banned HICC); (3) twelve total IFRA / EU-declared dermal sensitizers; (4) Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate as a second chemical UV filter; (5) BHT antioxidant; (6) undisclosed 'Parfum' trade-secret blend hiding synthetic polycyclic musks. The cinnamal + isoeugenol + octinoxate stack is the worst part of the formula.
Key ingredients 18
Parfum (Fragrance)Very Bad
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.

Chemical UV filter added to stabilize fragrance color. Confirmed endocrine disruptor with estrogen-receptor binding and anti-androgen activity in cell and animal studies. Banned in Hawaii and several Pacific reef jurisdictions for environmental hormone effects. Pure aesthetic addition — unnecessary in a leave-on cosmetic.
See more about Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) →CinnamalVery Bad
EU 26 fragrance allergen — one of the strongest dermal sensitizers in the IFRA standards. IFRA imposes strict use-level caps in leave-on products precisely because cinnamaldehyde causes high rates of contact dermatitis.
See more about Cinnamal →HydroxycitronellalVery Bad
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.

EU 26 fragrance allergen and a top-strength dermal sensitizer per IFRA. Use level in leave-on products is capped at 0.02% by IFRA because of its high allergic-contact-dermatitis rate.
See more about Isoeugenol →Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl BenzoateBad
Chemical UV filter (Uvinul A Plus) added to prevent fragrance color shift. Newer-generation but still benzophenone-derived; limited long-term human data.
See more about Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate →BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene)Bad
Synthetic antioxidant. Possible endocrine disruptor (mild estrogenic activity in cell studies); banned as a food additive in several countries. Restricted in California Prop 65 listings for some uses.
See more about BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) →LinaloolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Air-oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are confirmed contact sensitizers — exposure is high in spray-on fragrance.
See more about Linalool →Benzyl AlcoholBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with mild preservative function; contact dermatitis is documented in spray fragrances.
See more about Benzyl Alcohol →CitronellolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Recognized dermal sensitizer; one of the most frequently cited fragrance allergens in patch-test studies.
See more about Citronellol →GeraniolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with rose-like odor. Documented skin sensitizer; oxidation products are even more reactive.
See more about Geraniol →EugenolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Clove-derived; documented strong dermal sensitizer with IFRA-restricted use levels in leave-on products.
See more about Eugenol →FarnesolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with floral-musky odor. Documented dermal sensitizer.
See more about Farnesol →Benzyl BenzoateBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen and known dermal sensitizer; SCCS has flagged repeated leave-on exposure as a concern.
See more about Benzyl Benzoate →Hexyl CinnamalBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Synthetic jasmine-floral aromachemical; cinnamate-class compounds are a recognized contact-sensitizer family.
See more about Hexyl Cinnamal →CitralBad
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.
See more about Citral →Alcohol Denat.Neutral
Ethanol-based solvent carrier (~80% of formula). Drying to skin but otherwise inert; denaturant identity is not disclosed.
