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.

Read on the label
- Worth watching RETINYL PALMITATEAnnex III, entry 376, requires this to be printed on the pack: “For any cosmetic product containing Retinol, Retinyl Acetate or Retinyl Palmitate the following, labelling is obligatory: ‘Contains Vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use’.”. Regulation (EU) 2024/996 gives the reason: to inform people already exposed to vitamin A from food and food supplements that a cosmetic may add to an excess (recital 3).
No official text covers the recognised ingredients for: pregnancy and breastfeeding, babies and children, skin, eyes and allergies, environment.
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.
