Skincare Products without Linalool or Peru Balsam

[AryehBlue]

I just had a patch test and two chemicals showed as contact allergens: #PeruBalsam and #HydroperoxidesofLinalool (Peru Balsam and Hydroperoxides of Linalool). I have been searching to determine which body creams or lotions as well as moisturizers and body washes/soaps don't have these chemicals, particularly linalool as my allergy is more intense toward that one. Apparently, even products that don't list these ingredients may have them, hidden under the ingredient described as "fragrance" or "parfum". IF any of you are aware of products of the kinds I described above that don't have these chemicals, I would appreciate your sharing that information. Thank you!

@AryehBlue  Have you tried any CeraVe or Vanicream products? Those are effective, low cost, and truly fragrance-free. Vanicream’s formulas tend to be simple (shorter ingredient lists) and quite good for sensitive skin. I use some products by both brands on my face and body. My usual body washes are CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser Bar and SA Cleanser Bar because they don’t leave my body skin feeling dry, stripped, or “squeaky clean.” 

If you want something Sephora carries, Necessaire has some fragrance-free body products. But double check their ingredient lists: some items labeled “fragrance-free” contain orange and lemon extracts, which might contain a bit of linalool. 2 products that don’t, thank goodness, are Nécessaire The Body Lotion - Firming Moisturizer With 5 Peptides and 2.5% Niacinamide with Pump 13.5 oz / 400 mL and Nécessaire The Body Cream - Barrier Repair Treatment With 5% Niacinamide + 5 Ceramides 6.8 oz / 200 mL  . Their body wash comes in a fragrance-free version but it contains the 2 citrus extracts I mentioned, so I’d avoid those. 

When scanning ingredient lists, keep an eye out for lavender (lavandula angustifolia) extract: it contains a lot of linalool. Lavender in any form is my facial skin’s nemesis, so I avoid all facial skincare products that contain it.
