Who it concerns

For each group, the ingredients of the list that an official classification or rule mentions. Open an ingredient's page to read what the text says. A group with no name does not mean the ingredients were judged to have no effect for it.

Prohibition or serious classificationThe text prohibits the substance for this use, or ranks it among the most serious hazards (known or presumed carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic, identified endocrine disruptor).Worth watchingThe text sets a condition or flags a hazard worth knowing: allergen, suspected effect, condition for children, hazard to the aquatic environment.For informationOfficial information with no condition on a finished product: warning to read, irritation of the pure substance.

No official text covers the recognised ingredients for: pregnancy and breastfeeding, babies and children.

For a question about your own situation (pregnancy, child, allergy), show this list to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist: we cannot say whether this product suits you.
