    Very useful idea. To be useful it would have to be calibrated as to incidence and severity.

    in rinse-off products, the allergens are declared on the label if they’re present in the final product at 0.01% w/w or more

    in leave-on products, allergens are declared on the label if they’re present in the final product at 0.001% w/w or more

    your fragrance supplier will have a declaration stating what levels of declarable allergens are present in a given fragrance; to find out the levels in the final product, multiply the values on that declaration by the inclusion level of your fragrance
