26 Allergens Analysis by GC/MS
What 26 Allergens Analysis Measures
26 allergens analysis evaluates cosmetic and personal care products for the presence of the 26 fragrance allergens listed under EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. Pentyl Labs performs this testing using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS), a sensitive and selective method for fragrance allergen detection.
The European Union requires labeling of certain fragrance allergens when they exceed defined concentration thresholds. Because of this requirement, manufacturers must understand whether regulated allergens are present in their formulations and at what levels.
Why Fragrance Allergen Testing Is Required
Fragrance allergens may trigger skin reactions in sensitive individuals. Therefore, EU regulations require transparency through ingredient labeling when allergen concentrations exceed threshold limits.
26 allergens analysis supports compliance by identifying and quantifying listed fragrance allergens. As a result, manufacturers can confirm labeling accuracy and reduce regulatory risk before placing products on the EU market.
Analytical Method Overview
GC/MS separates individual fragrance compounds and identifies them based on their mass spectral signatures. This approach allows accurate detection of allergenic fragrance components even in complex formulations that contain essential oils, fragrance blends, or botanical extracts.
Pentyl Labs applies validated GC/MS procedures to ensure reliable identification and quantification of each listed allergen. Proper sample preparation helps minimize interference and improve result accuracy.
Products Commonly Tested
26 allergens analysis applies to cosmetics, personal care products, fragrances, raw materials, and finished goods. Manufacturers commonly request testing during product development, reformulation, or prior to EU market entry.
Testing also supports supplier qualification and fragrance verification. When allergens appear in results, manufacturers can confirm whether concentrations exceed labeling thresholds.
How Results Are Used
Test results support cosmetic product labeling, safety assessments, and regulatory documentation. Manufacturers use the data to determine labeling obligations and confirm compliance with EU requirements.
This service is often performed alongside Chemical Analysis Services and EU Regulatory Compliance Testing to provide a more complete evaluation of formulation risk.
Regulatory requirements for fragrance allergens are defined by the European Commission, which oversees implementation of EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009.
Summary
Overall, 26 allergens analysis provides essential data for cosmetic compliance and consumer transparency. GC/MS delivers accurate results that help manufacturers meet EU labeling requirements and support responsible product development.
