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.

Regulatory position

Tied to a named instrument rather than summarised. Presence in an ingredient glossary is not evidence that a substance is permitted at any concentration or for any purpose.

  • EU · prohibited

    Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Annex II

    Prohibited in cosmetic products placed on the EU market from August 2021.
