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

    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: Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben and 4 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 parabens

    This product contains a paraben preservative. Parabens are permitted in the EU within concentration limits set by the Cosmetics Regulation, and some individual parabens are restricted or prohibited.

    From: Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben

    Why are we telling you this?

    Parabens attract more concern than the regulatory position supports, and the honest answer is specific: some are permitted within limits, some are not. Saying "dangerous" would be wrong; saying nothing would be unhelpful.

  • 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

    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 UV filters

    This product contains UV filters. Which filters are permitted, and at what concentration, differs between markets.

    From: Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

    Why are we telling you this?

    UV filters are among the most tightly regulated cosmetic ingredients, and the permitted set differs between the EU, the US and elsewhere.

  • Contains mineral oils

    This product contains a petroleum-derived oil or wax. Cosmetic grades are refined to a standard set for that use.

    From: Paraffinum Liquidum

    Why are we telling you this?

    A common preference, frequently confused with industrial-grade material. The distinction is worth stating plainly.
