New EU Allergens List - Ingredients List Update!

In 2023, the EU changed the EU allergens list to include over 80 materials and chemicals. Here at Hoshi Gato, we use the IFRA allergens list because it was vastly more comprehensive than the EU 26 Allergens list used in the past. With the deadline for this new allergens list coming up, we've decided to change our approach to a mixture of both.

Most of the things in the updated list were already recognized by the IFRA. The only thing listed in the new EU Allergens List that we were not already disclosing is vanillin. Thus, we have updated our ingredients lists to include vanillin if it is part of the formula. 

If you are curious, here is the new list of EU allergens (which is infuriatingly not alphabetized):
