That is a statement about the rules, not about safety.

Composition

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

• Contains a formaldehyde-releasing preservative

  This product contains a preservative that works by slowly releasing formaldehyde. EU rules require products above a threshold to carry a specific label warning.

  • Diazolidinyl Urea
  Why we mention it

  This group is genuinely subject to a labelling obligation, so it is marked regulatory. The ingredient is not formaldehyde itself, and the flag says so.

• 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.

  • Parfum
  Why we mention it

  Fragrance is the most frequently cited preference in cosmetics, and "parfum" on a label can cover many undisclosed components.
