Allergens are what cause a reaction. For instance, peanuts can cause a person's throat to sweel up. In the case of beauty treatments, it could inflame the skin or worse depending on their vulnerability to the allergen. To find out some allergens in beauty products. This is an excerpt from the website below...

Answer 9

Allergens are just agents that stimulate an allergic reaction.  

So, for example, someone who is allergic to peanuts (allergen) may experience anaphylaxis (allergic reaction) when they eat or smell them.

In a less extreme case, someone allergic to tree pollen (another example of an allergen) may sneeze during the spring time, when the allergen is abundant.  

I think the wikipedia page I sourced will give plenty of ideas.
