Allergy to fragrance mix 1

Hi

I have been diagnosed with allergy to fragrance mix 1 and something called isoeugenol which has caused a lot of dry skin on my face. .apparently mix 1 is in all products and used to get a fragrance and smell to a product

Anyone else out here with this allergy? I'm struggling to find products which are no perfume....deodorant, shaving gel, moisturiser etcetera !!

Anyone know of anything I could use?

I'm allergic to a lot of fragranced toiletries too. Simple and Sanex products don't contain fragrance (check the packaging in case there's an odd one that does), and have quite wide ranges so might cover most of what you need. Would those be suitable?

I have sensitive skin and also use Sanex shower gel, I use the one that is clear for very dry skin. I take my make up off with either olive or coconut oil as my face is the most sensitive.

I use olive or coconut oil on my skin after my shower as well, although I occasionally use Aveeno but am not sure if this has fragrance in

Mitchum do an unfragranced doedorant, i am sure that others do as well but this is the only one I have tried

Hi
I am also allergic to this, but have not had to pay too much attention to it as it was flagged as a mild allergen and apart from certain cosmetics it had not affected me greatly. This summer has been different and I have recurring extremely sore patches on my face. I am now wondering if it might be my washing powder (don't use conditioner), as I always sleep with my face pressed into the pillow and the bed covers up as far as my eyebrows, and wondered what products other people have found worked for them? I have not changed powders, always use Aldi ones, but I have certainly become more sensitive to something this summer.

Was negative for house dust mites and dog hair/dander, which apart from skin care would be obvious ones.
