Co-Reactivity of Fragrances and Fragrance-Markers in Patients With Positive Patch Tests to Chinese and Brazilian Propolis.
Contact dermatitis · 2026
BACKGROUND: In patients with contact allergy to Chinese propolis, co-reactivity to the four fragrance markers present in the European baseline series ( Myroxylon pereirae resin [balsam of Peru], colophonium, fragrance mixes 1 and 2) has been well documented. The co-reactivity pattern of Brazilian propolis has not yet been sufficiently analysed. OBJECTIVES: To investigate co-reactivity patterns to… Read on PubMed →
Ten Years of Patch Testing to Hydroperoxides of Limonene and Linalool: Prevalence, Patterns and Clinical Insights.
Contact dermatitis · 2026
BACKGROUND: Limonene and linalool are widely used fragrances in cosmetic and household products. Upon air exposure, they autoxidise into potent sensitisers - hydroperoxides of limonene (Lim-OOH) and linalool (Lin-OOH). OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to investigate patch test reactions to Lim-OOH and Lin-OOH, and associated characteristics, reaction patterns, including doubtful… Read on PubMed →
Repeated Exposure to Hydroperoxides of Linalool Induces Immunologically Verified Allergic Contact Dermatitis.
Contact dermatitis · 2026
BACKGROUND: Fragrance allergens are a leading cause of contact allergy (CA). Linalool, common in cosmetics and household products, forms sensitising hydroperoxides (Lin-OOH) upon air exposure. Lin-OOH is linked to a high prevalence (3.9%-11.7%) of positive patch test results, but often gives rise to doubtful or irritant reactions. OBJECTIVES: To reassess patch test concentrations of Lin-OOH… Read on PubMed →
Absorption and Effects of Patch Test Preparations of Hydroperoxides of Limonene and Hydroperoxides of Linalool in Human Ex Vivo Skin.
Contact dermatitis · 2026
BACKGROUND: Limonene and linalool are fragrance terpenes that undergo autoxidation to sensitizing hydroperoxides. This study assessed the penetration of limonene hydroperoxide and linalool hydroperoxide from patch test preparations in ex vivo human skin samples, alongside analysing the effects of the patch test preparations on the composition of skin lipids, using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass… Read on PubMed →
