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 />

Table 5-13 The most frequent ingredients in the 89 investigated <strong>cosmetic</strong> <strong>products</strong>. The listed ingredients have<br />

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