Camphor in Dutch

On a Dutch label camphor reads camphor.

What is camphor?

Camphor is a substance in personal care products that can cause an allergic reaction on sensitive skin. Fragrance substances like this must be on the pack above 0.001% (in products that stay on the skin) or 0.01% (in products you rinse off).

How to avoid camphor

• Look for ‘Camphor’ in the ingredient list (INCI) on the pack: these names are the same in every language.
• ‘Parfum’ or ‘fragrance’ may contain it in smaller amounts without naming it.
• Fragrance free products are under Ingredients, Personal care.
