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, 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: Sodium Benzoate, Salicylic Acid, Linalool, 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 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: Menthol, Linalool, 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.

• 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.
