N2 - The profession of masseur or bath attendant involves intense contact with multiple potential allergens and irritants. There is a complete lack of epidemiological studies for this professional group in spite of the general agreement that sensitization to ingredients of beauty and healthcare products such as fragrances is common. In this review, we critically review the relevant literature, and present own results from recently performed analyses of the German Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK). Fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, and antioxidants are relevant from the allergological perspective. In order to evaluate the particular importance of these and other potentially important allergens for occupational dermatology, further systematic research in allergology as well as epidemiological studies are needed.
