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: Ethylhexyl Triazone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenoxyethanol
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 UV filters
This product contains UV filters. Which filters are permitted, and at what concentration, differs between markets.
From: Ethylhexyl Triazone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate
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 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.
