PRIMEROSE EGF
US over-the-counter (OTC) label
Aux États-Unis, ces produits sont vendus comme médicaments en vente libre (OTC) : solaires, antitranspirants, antipelliculaires, dentifrices anticaries, produits contre l'acné ou protecteurs cutanés. L'étiquette distingue les ingrédients actifs et inactifs. Dans l'Union européenne, un produit à finalité cosmétique doit respecter le règlement (CE) n° 1223/2009. Un filtre ou un actif admis aux États-Unis peut ne pas être autorisé pour cet usage dans l'Union. La qualification dépend de la finalité : un désinfectant pour les mains peut relever des biocides et un traitement de l'acné des médicaments. Cette analyse applique les règles cosmétiques aux ingrédients, sans établir la conformité du produit fini. La formule vendue en Europe sous le même nom peut être différente.

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.
Skin, eyes and allergies
- For information PHENOXYETHANOLClassified under the CLP Regulation: serious eye damage, category 1 (Eye Dam. 1). This classification describes the pure substance; in a finished product it is far more diluted.
