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, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin

    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: Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin

    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: Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin, Parfum

    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 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.

  • 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.
