Findings
- Formula transparency
- Partly recorded16 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 · 5 named5 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
- 7 named · 7 restricted or prohibited7 ingredients on this list are named in EU cosmetics law, and 7 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
- 2 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
- 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.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Citronellol
- Limonene
- Linalool
- and 1 more
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.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Citronellol
- Limonene
- Linalool
- Benzyl Alcohol
- and 1 more
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.
- Contains sulphate surfactants
This product contains a sulphate surfactant. These clean effectively and lather well; some people find them stripping on hair or skin.
Why we mention it
A widespread preference, particularly in haircare. Presented as a preference rather than a safety matter, because that is what it is.
