Fragrance Allergen Transparency – UK Regulatory Compliance
Updated: July 2025 (adapted for Commission Regulation 2023/1545)
As part of our ongoing commitment to ingredient transparency and product safety, Delune UK openly declares fragrance allergens typically found in our 100% pure essential oils. This information is drawn from verified GC-MS analysis and is fully compliant with the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, including the 2023/1545 amendment expanding the allergen list from 24 to over 80 substances.
We report any constituent allergens present above 0.001% in leave-on products or 0.01% in rinse-off formulas. As our oils are undiluted, all applicable allergens naturally exceed these thresholds and are listed accordingly.
Note: Values shown reflect typical GC-MS findings and may vary slightly depending on harvest and origin. The 2023/1545 regulation becomes mandatory for new products from 31 July 2026, and for existing products by 31 July 2028 — Delune UK has already implemented these updates in advance.

*EU compliance: This table reflects the EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 and its 2023/1545 amendment. All allergens above 0.001% (leave-on) and 0.01% (rinse-off) are listed. Since these are undiluted oils, all constituents are well above declaration thresholds.
Non-EU clients: The US FDA does not require separate fragrance allergen labelling, but truth-in-advertising still applies. Many APAC regions follow EU-style frameworks — please check local regulations.
