Which ones? I don't see it.
My skin is very sensible (not allergy, dermatitis) but I've no problems.
Most fragrance chemicals are allowed to be lumped under the general term "fragrance". However, there are some chemicals that are potential allergens that are required to be listed separately. If you look at the bottom of the ingredient list for the post-shave balm, you will see a listing of potential allergens including:
citronellol, geraniol, limonene, linalool, benzyl benzoate, and benzyl cinnamate. There are other fragrance chemicals that are also required to be listed, but these are the ones in this particular product.
Just because certain chemicals are potential allergens, that does not mean that your skin will be affected. However, I have very sensitive skin and have to watch out for anything with lemon, lime, grapefruit, menthol, mint, cittronella, eucalyptus, cinnamon, clove, etc. Thus, I try to avoid products that have potential allergens listed.
