What the authority reported
According to the list of ingredients, the product contains butylphenyl methylpropional (BMHCA), which is forbidden in cosmetic products. BMHCA may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child and may cause skin sensitisation. Additionally, the product contains allergenic fragrances (Linalool, Citronellol, Limonene and Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone), which are not mentioned in the list of ingredients. Failure to mention the presence of an allergenic fragrance in the labelling in leave-on products may cause dermatitis/eczema, or more serious skin reactions in already sensitised persons. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
