Findings

Formula transparency
Partly recorded21 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 · 4 named4 of the 26 fragrance substances EU labelling asks to be named are 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
6 named · 6 with limits6 ingredients on this list are named in EU cosmetics law, and 6 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
1 preservative · 1 UV filterCounts, 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 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 UV filters

    This product contains UV filters. Which filters are permitted, and at what concentration, differs between markets.

    Why we mention it

    UV filters are among the most tightly regulated cosmetic ingredients, and the permitted set differs between the EU, the US and elsewhere.

  • 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.
