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, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate

    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, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene and 1 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 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 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, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate and 1 more

    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, Cera Microcristallina

    Why are we telling you this?

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