Make it law for beauty/ pharma companies to list all allergen ingredients

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Beauty and pharmaceutical companies at the moment do not have to list allergens on their ingredients (I.e the ones in bold). With ingredients like glycerin, hydrolysed collogen, vegetable oil etc it is makes it so hard to look for these allergens, especially if you have a severe allergy
Glycerin
Hydrolysed collagen
Vegetable protein
Vegetable oils

Where are even the source of these ingredients?

It was only by chance one day that I looked at a Garnier bottle that listed the source ingredient for Glycerin that I realised my life actually got a little easier. But still there are so many vague / filler ingredients that are used and not highlighted as allergens. I’m sick of having a puffy face and itchy eyes.
