不是禁用，是要註明: 根據歐盟對產品標籤的法例規定，Benzyl Alcohol等25種香氛成份在超出指定含量時便要列明在產品標籤上

9成歐洲比較大的天然品牌都有類似香料成份作為抗菌防腐，怎麼可能禁用呢?而且做抗菌防腐的含量都很低，比起化學防腐好很多！

而且化妝品不可能不防腐，滋生細菌更可怕。

This fragrance ingredient has a very fun name, but it can be irritating to skin.

Unfortunately, linalool can be a problematic ingredient for some people. When linalool comes into contact with oxygen, it breaks down and becomes oxidized, which can cause an allergic reaction. Manufacturers do include other substances in the products to delay this oxidation process, but allergenic substances can still be formed from linalool when it is stored.

Dermatologist Johanna Bråred Christensson explains, “One way of trying to minimize exposure to oxidized linalool is to avoid buying large packs of soap and shower cream, and always to replace the top after using a bottle.”

In conclusion, the safety of linalool depends on whether this ingredient is used in its natural form or as a synthetic fragrance. Linalool as a natural compound of an organic essential oil may provide anti-inflammatory effects, but the synthetic version can possibly lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions.
