We could only identify 68% of this declaration, so the summary above is incomplete. The unidentified entries are still listed below, exactly as printed.
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: Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Linalool
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.
- Contains a formaldehyde-releasing preservative
This product contains a preservative that works by slowly releasing formaldehyde. EU rules require products above a threshold to carry a specific label warning.
From: DMDM Hydantoin
Why are we telling you this?
This group is genuinely subject to a labelling obligation, so it is marked regulatory. The ingredient is not formaldehyde itself, and the flag says so.
- 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: DMDM Hydantoin, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Linalool
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, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Linalool
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.
