Some fragrance ingredients are considered allergens because a small number of people may be sensitive to them. This does not mean the ingredient is unsafe for everyone. It simply means the material is recognized enough that it may need to be disclosed for transparency, especially for customers with fragrance sensitivities.
Many fragrance allergens are naturally occurring components of flowers, fruits, herbs, spices, resins, woods, and essential oils. At AfterBlooms, these materials are reviewed in the context of the finished formula, the amount used, and the intended use as a fine fragrance applied externally to skin.
