What stands out in the list
Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.
3 declared fragrance allergens
EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Limonene, Citral.
6 essential oils
Naturally derived, and a frequent trigger for reactive skin: Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Ormenis Multicaulis Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, and others.
Drying alcohol, high in the list
Alcohol Denat appears at position 4, so it is a major part of the formula. Expect a fast, matte finish and possible tightness on dry or reactive skin.
Phototoxic citrus oils
Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil can carry furocoumarins, which increase sun sensitivity unless the oil is furocoumarin-free.
2 concentration-capped ingredients
EU law sets a maximum for Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil. Products on sale in the EU must comply. It also sets one for Citral, which products must comply with from 1 January 2027.
5 ingredients flagged for pregnancy
Ormenis Multicaulis Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Leptospermum Petersonii Oil are usually avoided or used with caution during pregnancy. This is what the ingredient entries say, not medical advice, so ask your midwife or doctor.
