Chemical concern

Advisory

  • Contains fragrance: Parfum
  • Fragrance allergens: Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol
  • EU REACH restriction: Cyclomethicone

Fragrance does not change the rating; it matters if your skin reacts to fragrance. EU-declared fragrance allergens: relevant only if you are sensitised to them. Doesn't change the rating — an EU environmental limit (REACH) on these cyclic silicones, not a cosmetics safety ban.
