Findings

Formula transparency
Partly recorded22 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
None foundNothing on this list is a scent or fragrance ingredient.
What this doesn't mean

Unscented is not scent-free — a base can still have a smell of its own.

Regulatory context
1 named · 1 with limits1 ingredient on this list is named in EU cosmetics law, and 1 of them carries 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 preservativeCounts, 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 a retinoid

    This product contains a retinoid or retinoid derivative. Guidance on use during pregnancy differs, and a pharmacist or doctor is the right source for that.

    Why we mention it

    Retinoids are common and effective, and also the ingredient group people most often ask about for specific personal circumstances. We point to professional advice rather than give it.

Everything on the pack
