Findings
- Formula transparency
- Partly recorded7 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
- 10 named · 10 with limits10 ingredients on this list are named in EU cosmetics law, and 10 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 · 5 UV filtersCounts, 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.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
- Limonene
- and 4 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 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.
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.
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.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
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.
