In the light of the latest addition to the list of fragrance allergens in the year 2023., here is a short reminder for cosmetics manufacturers about the name change of essential oils; actually, extracts of some of the most popular plant species used in cosmetics. This name change reduces the differences between the names of extracts and essential oils obtained by extraction from different parts of the same plant, as well as the confusion and possibility of mistakes.
Apart from their presence being indicated in the list of ingredients on the product label, in cases where the concentration of the substance exceeds 0,001% in leave-on products and 0,01% in rinse-off products, they should be indicated with the „new“ INCI name. This completes compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products.
A simplified overview of the names of plant extracts as stated in Annex III of Reg. 1223/2009:
