Lyral: a fragrance allergen.
Fragrances are a common cause of contact dermatitis and account for a large percentage of reactions to cosmetic products.

Lyral is one of those allergens found in many cosmetic and household products. This review will discuss the recent literature and the significance of this allergen to allergic contact dermatitis.
