Findings
- Formula transparency
- Partly recorded10 entries are not in our reference yet.
What this doesn't mean
The whole printed list is still below, exactly as written — those entries simply carry no explanation beside them.
- Fragrance
- PresentThe list includes scent ingredients.
What this doesn't mean
None of the 26 fragrance substances that EU labelling asks to be named individually appears on it.
- Regulatory context
- 2 named · 2 with limits2 ingredients on this list are named in EU cosmetics law, and 2 of them carry a condition.
What this doesn't mean
A condition is a cap on how much may be used, or which products it may be used in. We hold no concentrations, so we can't tell you where this product sits against one — the rules themselves are under Rules.
- Composition
- 2 preservativesCounts, not conclusions.
What this doesn't mean
A preservative keeps a water-based product from growing microbes in the pack, a UV filter absorbs or reflects ultraviolet light, and a colourant adds colour.
Worth knowing
- Subject to a regulatory restriction
One or more ingredients in this product are restricted in at least one market. The restriction is usually a concentration limit or a limit on the type of product.
Why we mention it
Points at a named instrument rather than implying a general hazard. The specific provision is shown with the ingredient.
- Contains a volatile alcohol
This product contains a low-molecular-weight alcohol. These evaporate quickly and are used to make a formula feel light; whether that suits you depends on your skin and the rest of the formula.
Why we mention it
Volatile alcohols are widely discussed as "drying". The effect depends heavily on concentration and what else is in the formula, so this is presented as context rather than as a warning.
- Contains fragrance
This product contains fragrance. Fragrance is one of the more common causes of contact irritation, which is why many people prefer to avoid it.
Why we mention it
Fragrance is the most frequently cited preference in cosmetics, and "parfum" on a label can cover many undisclosed components.
- Contains silicones
This product contains silicones, which are used to give a smooth feel and to help a formula spread.
Why we mention it
Silicones are a frequent preference filter. There is no regulatory restriction behind this flag, so it is marked informational.
