Barcode 4056489649373Checked 12 September 2026
Findings
- Formula transparency
- Partly recorded5 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
- Present · 1 named1 of the 26 fragrance substances EU labelling asks to be named is on this pack.
What this doesn't mean
That is a labelling rule rather than a warning. It matters most to somebody who already knows they react to one of them.
- Regulatory context
- 3 named · 3 with limits3 ingredients on this list are named in EU cosmetics law, and 3 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 preservatives · 1 colourantCounts, 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
- Declared fragrance allergen
This product declares one or more of the fragrance substances that EU labelling rules require to be named individually.
Why we mention it
Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires certain fragrance substances to be named on the label above a threshold. Their presence is a labelling fact, not a prediction that anybody will react.
- 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 exfoliating acids
This product contains an exfoliating acid. These work by loosening the bonds between surface skin cells, and are usually introduced gradually.
Why we mention it
Concentration and pH change the effect substantially, and neither is usually disclosed, so an absolute statement would be misleading.
- 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 sulphate surfactants
This product contains a sulphate surfactant. These clean effectively and lather well; some people find them stripping on hair or skin.
Why we mention it
A widespread preference, particularly in haircare. Presented as a preference rather than a safety matter, because that is what it is.
