Our cosmetics are full of chemical substances of all kinds. But for some time, we can decipher their composition thanks to applications or thanks to the advice of the UFC Que Choisir which analyzes our products. Since 2013, the list of prohibited or restricted ingredients must be mentioned by manufacturers of cosmetics sold in Europe. So how do you choose the right makeup remover?
Benzyl alcohol, linalool, citral, limonene, sodium hydroxide or even tetrasodium glutamate diacetate… Not easy to know which components are good or bad for your health. The list affixed to our cosmetics is often long and complicated to decipher. Is this product carcinogenic, allergenic, or safe? The UFC Que Choisir took up the question by analyzing no less than 3,788 make-up removers for the face.
