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.

    From: Octocrylene, Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Phenoxyethanol

    Why are we telling you this?

    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.

    From: Parfum

    Why are we telling you this?

    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.

    From: Octocrylene, Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

    Why are we telling you this?

    UV filters are among the most tightly regulated cosmetic ingredients, and the permitted set differs between the EU, the US and elsewhere.

  • Contains silicones

    This product contains silicones, which are used to give a smooth feel and to help a formula spread.

    From: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol

    Why are we telling you this?

    Silicones are a frequent preference filter. There is no regulatory restriction behind this flag, so it is marked informational.

  • Contains mineral oils

    This product contains a petroleum-derived oil or wax. Cosmetic grades are refined to a standard set for that use.

    From: Paraffinum Liquidum

    Why are we telling you this?

    A common preference, frequently confused with industrial-grade material. The distinction is worth stating plainly.
