What we tell people
- 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: Fragrance is the most frequently cited preference in cosmetics, and "parfum" on a label can cover many undisclosed components.
- 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: Points at a named instrument rather than implying a general hazard. The specific provision is shown with the ingredient.
