Summary
Chemical analysis has shown that about 2500 kinds of fragrance ingredients are currently used in cosmetic products, and common allergens are generally used in 15-100% of cosmetic products. Allergic rhinitis usually happens to specific individuals after their contacting with allergens, mostly mediated by IgE (especially histamines) and participated by many immune-active cells and cytokines.
