Why it’s rated Use Caution

  Use Caution
• Fragrance Allergens EU-listed fragrance allergens — sensitisers for some people.
  Use Caution
• EDTA (Disodium / Tetrasodium) Penetration enhancer; poorly biodegradable.

  Use Caution
• Citric Acid (Manufactured / Mold-Derived) Fermentation Byproduct / Mold & Inflammatory Response
  Use Caution
• Synthetic Fragrance / Parfum Undisclosed scent blend. A practical allowance: on its own it rates Caution (limit use), not Avoid — products with other flagged ingredients are still rated by those.
