Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Personal Care Products: A Focus on Established and Emerging Allergens.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology·2026

Natural herbal extracts in cosmetics and remedies can cause allergic contact dermatitis. Dermatologists should consider these botanical agents as potential allergens in patients with skin reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Cosmetic Science

Background:

  • Natural herbal extracts are prevalent in cosmetics and homeopathic remedies.
  • These "natural" ingredients are often perceived as safe and beneficial.
  • However, adverse reactions, including contact dermatitis, can occur.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on contact dermatitis caused by natural herbal extracts.
  • To raise awareness among dermatologists about potential allergens in botanical products.
  • To highlight the need for vigilance regarding adverse reactions to natural ingredients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of reported cases.
  • Analysis of studies documenting allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Synthesis of findings on specific herbal extract allergens.

Main Results:

  • Numerous natural herbal extracts have been identified as causes of contact dermatitis.
  • Adverse reactions can arise despite the "natural" classification of these ingredients.
  • Specific botanical agents are implicated in allergic contact dermatitis cases.

Conclusions:

  • Natural herbal extracts can be significant allergens.
  • Dermatologists must consider botanical ingredients as potential causes of contact dermatitis.
  • Increased awareness of natural product allergenicity is crucial for patient diagnosis and management.
