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: Linalool, Geraniol, Limonene

    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, Chlorphenesin, Linalool, Geraniol, Limonene

    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 a volatile alcohol

    This product contains a low-molecular-weight alcohol. These evaporate quickly and are used to make a formula feel light; whether that suits you depends on your skin and the rest of the formula.

    From: Alcohol Denat.

    Why are we telling you this?

    Volatile alcohols are widely discussed as "drying". The effect depends heavily on concentration and what else is in the formula, so this is presented as context rather than as a warning.

  • 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: Linalool, Geraniol, Limonene

    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.
