Worth knowing

  • 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: Retinol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben

    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 retinoid

    This product contains a retinoid or retinoid derivative. Guidance on use during pregnancy differs, and a pharmacist or doctor is the right source for that.

    From: Retinol

    Why are we telling you this?

    Retinoids are common and effective, and also the ingredient group people most often ask about for specific personal circumstances. We point to professional advice rather than give it.

  • 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

    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

    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.
