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: Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Geraniol

  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: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Limonene and 5 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: Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Geraniol 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 UV filters

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

  From: Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

  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.

• Alcohol Denat.Denatured alcohol
