Worth knowing

• 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.

  • Alcohol Denat.
  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.

  • Parfum
  Why we mention it

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