    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Cosmetic Science
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Antioxidants are frequent ingredients in cosmetic and toiletry products.
    • Allergic contact dermatitis to antioxidants can be underdiagnosed.
    • Specific diagnostic testing is necessary to identify these allergies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis to antioxidants in patients with facial dermatitis.
    • To highlight the importance of routine testing for cosmetic allergies.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2-year observational study involving patients with facial dermatitis.
    • Routine patch testing was performed using butylhydroxyanisole and tertiary butylhydroquinone.
    • Clinical diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis was confirmed.

    Main Results:

    • Seven patients were diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis.
    • The causative agents were identified as common cosmetic antioxidants.
    • Butylhydroxyanisole and tertiary butylhydroquinone were implicated in these cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Antioxidants in cosmetics and toiletries can cause allergic contact dermatitis.
    • Specific patch testing is crucial for diagnosing facial dermatitis potentially linked to cosmetic products.
    • Dermatologists should consider antioxidant allergy in patients with unexplained facial dermatitis.
