Findings

Formula transparency
Partly recorded8 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
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
3 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

  • 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 parabens

    This product contains a paraben preservative. Parabens are permitted in the EU within concentration limits set by the Cosmetics Regulation, and some individual parabens are restricted or prohibited.

    Why we mention it

    Parabens attract more concern than the regulatory position supports, and the honest answer is specific: some are permitted within limits, some are not. Saying "dangerous" would be wrong; saying nothing would be unhelpful.

  • 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.

How this formula is built

Grouped by what each ingredient is there to do. Open a band for the entries doing that job.

No band claims a share of the formula. 8 entries on the pack have no recorded purpose yet, and are still printed in full below.
