What changes
Fragrance allergens must be listed by name in the ingredient list when they exceed 0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products. Regulation 2023/1545 adds 56 new substances and natural extracts (for example camphor, menthol, vanillin, linalyl acetate, lavender, tea tree and ylang-ylang oils) and regroups some existing ones, so allergy sufferers can identify triggers that were previously hidden under “parfum”. It does not ban these ingredients; it only makes them visible. Since 1 August 2026 products placed on the market must carry the new labelling, while older labels may still be seen in shops until 31 July 2028.

Verified against the Official Journal (OJ L 188, 27.7.2023, p. 1). Here the dates are last permitted days, as written in the act: products not meeting the new labelling rules could be placed on the market until 31 July 2026 and may be made available until 31 July 2028. The placing deadline has passed, so the act is in its sell-off phase.
