Worth knowing

Declared fragrance allergen
This product declares one or more of the fragrance substances that EU labelling rules require to be named individually.
From: Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate
Why are we telling you this?
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.
From: Salicylic Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate and 1 more
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 exfoliating acids
This product contains an exfoliating acid. These work by loosening the bonds between surface skin cells, and are usually introduced gradually.
From: Salicylic Acid
Why are we telling you this?
Concentration and pH change the effect substantially, and neither is usually disclosed, so an absolute statement would be misleading.
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, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional
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 sulphate surfactants
This product contains a sulphate surfactant. These clean effectively and lather well; some people find them stripping on hair or skin.
From: Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Why are we telling you this?
A widespread preference, particularly in haircare. Presented as a preference rather than a safety matter, because that is what it is.
