"Parfum" is the EU/INCI designation for fragrance — the same concerns apply as with "Fragrance." It covers hundreds of possible chemicals that don't need to be individually listed.

Potential allergenSame high concern as Fragrance

SODIUM BENZOATE

moderate

Sodium benzoate is a chemical preservative. When combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it can form benzene — a known carcinogen. It is also linked to hyperactivity in children, leading the UK to recommend removing it from children's foods.
