Abstract
The case is reported of a 28-year-old man who developed allergic conta ct dermatitis from 2 synthetic fragrance ingredients, Lyral (3- and (4 -hydroxy-4-methylpentyl)-3-cyclohexe-1-aldehyde) and acetyl cedrene, i n separate underarm deodorant preparations. The implications of the pa tient's negative patch test reactions to the European standard series (Trolab) and cosmetics and fragrance series (both Chemotechnique Diagn ostics) are discussed. The importance is stressed of patch testing wit h the patient's own preparations when cosmetic dermatitis is suspected , and of identifying and reporting offending fragrance ingredients, wi th a view possibly to updating the European standard series and commer cially available cosmetics and fragrance series.
