Answer
The product Honey Extract (For Natural Honey Odor, Oil-Soluble, ID 35478) is described as an oil-soluble liquid, but the database only lists MEL POWDER (Honey Extract) as the composition. As an oil-soluble extract, it must contain an unlisted carrier oil, which significantly impacts the answers to your questions.
1. EU Allergens for Cosmetics
- Honey Extract (Mel) itself is not one of the 26 mandatory EU fragrance allergens (e.g., Limonene, Linalool) that require listing above a certain threshold.
- However, since the product is marketed for its "Natural Honey Odor," it contains natural aromatic components. Natural extracts often contain trace amounts of EU-listed allergens (such as Benzyl Alcohol, Cinnamal, Coumarin, or Eugenol) that are naturally present in the raw material.
- Recommendation: A full Certificate of Analysis (CoA) from the supplier is required to confirm the presence and concentration of any EU-listed allergens in the final product.
2. ISO 128 Score (Comedogenic Rating 0-5)
The comedogenic rating for the final product will be primarily determined by the unlisted carrier oil.
- Honey Extract (Mel Powder): Generally considered to have a low comedogenic rating, typically 0-2.
- Final Product: Without knowing the specific carrier oil (e.g., Mineral Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Soybean Oil), a definitive ISO 128 score cannot be provided. The score could range from 0 to 4 depending on the carrier used.
3. Palm Oil Free Status
- Honey Extract (Mel Powder): This active ingredient is Palm Oil Free.
- Final Product: The palm oil free status of the final, oil-soluble product depends entirely on the unlisted carrier oil used in the extraction process. You must consult the supplier to confirm if the carrier oil is derived from palm or palm kernel oil.
