- Composition
- None of the three we countCounts, 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 fragrance
