Annex III — Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009

Fragrance allergens with mandatory individual labelling in EU cosmetics

69Annex III entries listed

Allergen labelling obligation

Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (Annex III, Part I, entries 67–92) originally established between 24 and 26 aromatic substances that had to be declared in the ingredient list when their concentration exceeds certain thresholds. Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 (in force since 16 August 2023) expanded that list to approximately 80 fragrance allergens requiring mandatory individual declaration.

For leave-on products, the declaration threshold is 0.001%. For rinse-off products, the threshold is 0.01%. Above these values, the allergen's INCI name must appear explicitly on the label, regardless of the use of the generic term 'Perfume' or 'Fragrance'.

Non-compliant products may be placed on the market until 31 July 2026 and sold until 31 July 2028.

The list includes both individual compounds (such as Linalool or Geraniol) and complex natural extracts (such as Evernia prunastri). BD-API monitors changes to Annex III and notifies Responsible Persons when entries are added, modified or removed.

Enforceable today — 24 entries (Annex III, 67–92)

These are the entries a label must already declare above the thresholds. They come from the original list introduced by Directive 2003/15/EC and carried into Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Applicable from 31 July 2026 — 45 entries (Annex III, 327–371)

Added by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545. A product that does not declare these is still compliant until the transition date, which is why they are listed separately here rather than merged into the list above. Several are group entries: one declarable glossary name covering multiple botanical species or isomers. To be warned about changes like this before they apply, see Regulatory Watch.
