Cosmetic contact allergy is commonly seen in patients undergoing patch testing, with fragrance one of the most frequently implicated ingredients. Many cosmetics contain plant extracts either as a fragrance or for medicinal properties. With a vogue for natural products there is an increase in their use. We have performed a prospective study over a 2-year period looking at the prevalence of contact allergy to plants in patients diagnosed with cosmetic dermatitis. In addition, we have performed a review of the products of two popular cosmetic companies, examining product labelling and the prevalence of use of plant extracts. We suggest that patients allergic to fragrance be advised to avoid plant extracts, which are separately labelled, in their personal care products.
化妆品接触性过敏在进行斑贴试验的患者中很常见，香料是最常涉及的成分之一。许多化妆品含有植物提取物，要么用作香料，要么具有药用特性。随着天然产品的流行，其使用量有所增加。我们进行了一项为期两年的前瞻性研究，观察诊断为化妆品皮炎的患者对植物接触性过敏的患病率。此外，我们对两家知名化妆品公司的产品进行了审查，检查了产品标签以及植物提取物的使用 prevalence。我们建议，建议对香料过敏的患者在其个人护理产品中避免使用单独标注的植物提取物。 （注：原文中“prevalence of use of plant extracts”中的“prevalence”翻译为“患病率”不太准确，结合语境这里可能是“使用情况”之类的意思，但按要求未添加解释，整体译文可能存在部分不太通顺的地方。）
