What are some common triggers for irritant contact dermatitis in detergents, cosmetics and soaps?

Perfumes, colors: The biggest culprits are the added scents or perfumes and the cord used mainly as marketing tools. Watch out for " new and improved". This often means a new agent which you could be allergic to.
