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: Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Salicylic Acid

    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 silicones

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

    From: Dimethicone

    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.
