they contain one or more <strong>of</strong> the 26 fragrances m<strong>and</strong>atory to declare on the<br />
<strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong> if they are present above certain concentrations. (Stat. Ord.<br />
422, 2006).<br />
In total, 38 <strong>of</strong> the 89 non-preserved <strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong>, i.e. 43 % <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>products</strong>, contain fragrances. Concerning the specific four fragrances listed<br />
above the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>products</strong> is 33, which means that 37 % <strong>of</strong> the<br />
investigated <strong>products</strong> contain one or more <strong>of</strong> these four fragrances.<br />
5.4.2 Frequent ingredients<br />
In table 5-13 below the most frequent ingredients (in the investigated 89<br />
<strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong>) that have some kind <strong>of</strong> antibacterial, antimicrobial or<br />
antiseptic effect are listed. The list also shows:<br />
� in which type <strong>of</strong> <strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong> the ingredients are present,<br />
� if the ingredients are present in both non-preserved <strong>and</strong> naturally<br />
preserved <strong>products</strong>,<br />
� in how many <strong>products</strong> the ingredients are present, <strong>and</strong><br />
� if the ingredients are classified as hazardous.<br />
The four ingredients chosen as a focus for the chemical analysis <strong>and</strong> the<br />
subsequent risk <strong>and</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>assessment</strong> are marked with gray shading.<br />
It seems that these listed frequent ingredients are “typical” ingredients that<br />
can be found in general in <strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong>. However, this has not been<br />
investigated in details. Most <strong>of</strong> these frequent ingredients are equally frequent<br />
in non-preserved <strong>products</strong> <strong>and</strong> in naturally preserved <strong>products</strong>. However, it<br />
seems that the fragrances are more frequently used in the naturally preserved<br />
<strong>products</strong> than the non-preserved <strong>products</strong>.<br />

some kind <strong>of</strong> preserving, antimicrobial, antibacterial or antiseptic effect (see Table 5-11 for details/references).<br />
