Mid risk

Functionfragrance allergen

What it is — Coumarin (INCI: Coumarin) is a sweet, vanilla-hay-scented fragrance component; it is one of the fragrance materials the EU requires to be declared on labels.

What it does — It is commonly used to give or round out a product's scent rather than to condition the skin.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in scented skincare, hair and body products, and can occur naturally within some botanical ingredients.

Who it suits / good to know — As an EU-listed fragrance allergen, it is among the components more likely to trigger sensitivity in fragrance-reactive people. Fragrance-free options exist if scent is a known trigger for you.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: a recognized fragrance allergen. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.
