- Abstract
Lack of information on the ingredients of cosmetic products seriously interferes with the adequate diagnosis of patients with cosmetic allergy. In addition, even when the offending allergens can be identified, such patients cannot be given proper advice about which products to avoid and which can be used without risking a recurrence of dermatitis. The solution to this problem is simple: all ingredients of cosmetics and toiletries should be listed on the product. Unfortunately, current European Community regulations do not require cosmetics manufacturers to list all ingredients on their products.
