Latin makeup labels put people with allergies 'at risk'
Makeup and skincare ingredients should be listed in English and not Latin to protect people with allergies, campaigners say. Cosmetic companies display ingredients in Latin, or using scientific names. But MP Becky Gittins, who has a severe nut allergy, said this was a problem as "less than 5% of our young people are educated in Latin". One mum, whose daughter had an allergic reaction to body wash, said cosmetics should be labelled in the same way as food. Makeup influencer Amy Loring said the labelling system was "frustrating" but for some could be "life threatening". The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) said Latin-based names provided a universal language across the globe. Teens fight back against online skincare trends 'Don't do it': Warning against cheap filler and Botox-style injections Cosmetic companies list ingredients according to the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI), a system which includes thousands of different Latin-based names. For example, sweet almond oil is Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis, peanut oil is Arachis Hypogaea, and wheat germ extract is Triticum Vulgare. Some cosmetic brands also list their ingredients in English, but this is not a requirement. Eve Huang's daughter Elysia, 9, is allergic to cow's milk, coconut, eggs, asparagus, mustard and tree nuts. Elysia's allergies are triggered not just by food but by airborne particles and skin contact. "The Latin puts allergy sufferers at risk and it is so frustrating," said Ms Huang, from Hornchurch in Essex. "Why are allergens not listed in bold? Why are there no warning signs?" Ms Huang said she recently bought Elysia a new skin-sensitive body wash. Within seconds of getting into the bath, Elysia became red and developed a hives rash all over her body. At first, they did not realise the cause was the body wash. Elysia did not develop anaphylaxis - a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction - but she did need to be treated. "A child should not have to take medicine simply for having a bath. A process of getting oneself clean should not make them seriously ill," said Ms Huang. She said birthday parties could also be "a nightmare". "At one party, Elysia was gifted a facial mask in the party bag and I've had to explain she can't use it until I've 'Googled' the Latin names and checked whether it's safe." She added: "Some brands now include English translations, which is useful. But I would like to see similar, if not the same standards, as food packaging." Gittins, the Labour MP for Clwyd East who is behind the campaign for change, has a severe nut allergy. If she were to use products containing nuts it could trigger anaphylaxis. Gittins said at a recent trip to a spa, she had to frantically "Google" Latin terms to check for allergens. "Even on a day that's supposed to be relaxing, I was still mitigating risk. It is incredibly difficult," she said. "Less than 5% of our young people are educated in Latin at any level. Even fewer would recognise these terms when checking the back of a packet to see if they can use certain toiletries or ointments – that then becomes a big problem." Gittins said her allergy meant she lived with "a base level of anxiety". She added: "Do I live a very restricted life, or do I go out and do the things that are more risky? "That is what we need to minimise - we need to make sure we have a much more allergy-friendly world so we can mitigate that risk." Amy Loring, a makeup artist from Cardiff who uses her Instagram page to provide skincare and cosmetics advice to thousands, said the labelling system needed to be "very clear". "I have hypersensitive skin and it's very uncomfortable when you're breaking out and have eczema over your face. There are some days I can't put anything on my skin because it is reacting so bad," said the 31-year-old. "It is frustrating as a consumer when you get reactions like rosacea, redness, breakouts, and that's just mild allergies - it can be quite severe and life-threatening." Almond (bitter): Prunus amygdalus amar Avocado: Persea gratissima Apricot: Prunus armeniaca Banana: Musa sapientum Brazil nut: Bertholletia excelsa Cashew: Anacardium occidentale Chestnut: Castanea sativa/sylva or castanea crenata Coconut: Cocus nucifera Egg: Ovum Fish liver oil: Piscum iecur Hazelnut: Corylus rostrata, corylus americana, corylus avellana Kiwi fruit: Actinidia chinensis or actinidia deliciosa Oat: Avena sativa or Avena strigosa Peach: Prunus persica Peanut oil: Arachis Hypogaea Sesame: Sesamum indicum Sweet almond oil: Prunus amygdalus dulcis Walnut: Juglans regia or juglans nigra Wheat germ extract: Triticum vulgare Regulations state that cosmetic ingredients must be listed clearly. If there is no outer packaging, the labelling will be on the container. If the product is very small, the ingredients may be listed on a leaflet. While the INCI system ensures consistency across the globe, critics say it leaves many consumers in the dark. Rachel Williams' son, Jacob, is allergic to peanuts, hazelnuts and almonds. "It is difficult enough to navigate life with allergies without adding the learning of Latin on top of everything else," said Rachel, from Swansea. "I can't always remember the name of certain nuts in Latin, or I doubt myself when I'm checking products. This means I have to search online every time I use a product. I would have a lot more confidence in the products if they stated all of the top 14 allergens in English." The CTPA has defended the use of INCI ingredient names. Caroline Rainsford, the director of science at the CTPA, said the system provided a universal language across the globe. "For botanical or natural extracts, we refer to the Linnaean system, which is the international system for scientifically naming plants and animals, and lots of those names will be Latin-based," she said. "The reason we refer to that system is to have global harmonisation. "I can see that perhaps people would think it may be easier to have the English name but if you are on holiday and you are looking at the ingredients list, you would need to know the name of the plant in whichever country you're in. "Whereas if we use the INCI system, you then just need to remember that one INCI name. "The more consistency and harmonisation we have with the ingredient list is not only great for us when we're buying a product, it also makes life easier for companies." The industry has developed tools to help consumers navigate the terminology. One such tool is the COSMILE app, which allows users to search ingredient names by scanning the label. The app aims to offer reliable and scientifically supported information on thousands of ingredients used in cosmetic products. A UK government spokesperson said: "Our regulations require all cosmetics to include a full list of ingredients that is clearly marked on the product label or packaging using generally accepted names."

Vacation Doesn't Start Until You Own One of These Body Shimmer Oils
As the old adage goes: not all that glitters is gold—unless we're talking about body shimmer products. Picture this: you're lying on a beach or lounging by the pool, the sun kissing every gold fleck in your body oil, leaving you bronzed and glowing from head to toe. Sure, sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of any sun care routine, but there's something about that glistening, just-kissed-by-the-sun glow that's confirmation of a vacation well spent. Unlike regular body oils, shimmering body oils offer a more luxurious option, crafted with skin-loving natural oils, glitter, and tropical scents traditionally associated with summer, but suitable for use all year round. 'Shimmer oil is used to highlight and accentuate areas of the skin. It leaves your skin sparkly, glowing, radiant, and hydrated. Shimmer oil can be used anywhere you want to glow—all over your face, neck, cleavage, arms, thighs, and shoulders. Focus on areas that naturally catch the light,' Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup by Gisaura at Sola Salons, tells Body shimmer oils come in a wide range of shades and functions, from bronzed oils that double as self-tanners to oils with added sun protection. Here at we're self-professed vacation experts who have waxed poetic about the best travel beauty essentials and the best tools for all-weather prep. So, if you need a new reason to buy a body oil, our editors and experts provided you with 14 options below. As if the OG almond body oil wasn't a mainstay in everyone's body care collection, L'Occitane upped the ante with a version fit for summer adventures. Staying true to its signature nourishing almond oil base—which combines with castor and sunflower seed oils—this new formula features tiny gold flecks that leaves your skin radiant in any weather. Size: 3.3 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'I've hit pan on dozens—and I mean, dozens—of bottles of L'Occitane's almond oil. So, when I got my hands on the shimmering version, I knew it wouldn't disappoint—and I was correct. It still nourishes the same as its predecessor, but I enjoy how much more my skin glistens post-application, and it doesn't fade away too quickly. This is definitely a mainstay in my summer travel bag.'—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor If you want to skip the shimmer oils for something more subtle, take Dior's Shimmering Scrub for a ride. What starts as microbeads transforms into a milky substance that washes away, unveiling a soft, slightly glittery complexion. Size: 5 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'This was a great purchase!!! I walked into Nordstrom looking for a perfume and I stumbled across this product. I've tried body shimmers from different brands and this is now my number one choice. It has a nice shimmer on my skin, and it smells amazing.' Sunscreens are fun again, thanks to Vacation, whose expansive SPF offerings include everything from whipped formulas to this lightweight oil. With SPF 30 and glitter flecks, this SPF oil coats the skin in radiance while protecting it. Size: 2.9 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'I love how this makes my skin look and feel! My skin looks so golden and so shimmery! It's not sticky on my skin.' Vacation like a Beckham with this bronzy oil inspired by one of the famous couple's Italian trips. An extension of the perfume of the same name, the Portofino '97 oil dries to a citrus and woody scent and leaves a pearlescent finish. Size: 1.69 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'Quite an evocative, sexy scent. Love the micro gold shimmer. It may be for special events but it makes me feel special so I use it almost daily. Why not.' Sometimes, all you need is a light dusting of shimmer to elevate a look, whether it's your makeup or applied on top of your body care products. Fenty Beauty's Diamond Bomb comes in two flexible shades that blend seamlessly into the skin for a lit-from-within glow, rather than sitting on top. Size: 0.28 fl oz An Ulta reviewer says: 'This is the most beautiful thing I've ever used. As a self-proclaimed glitter enthusiast, this does the job!!! I use a powder brush and dust this all over my body and it sparkles all day! It looks like a fine loose glitter when applied, but it's a pressed product, so there's no mess. I wanna be buried with this highlighter.' Sothys's oil feels great on the hair and looks even better on the skin. After application, you'll wonder where the gold flecks went, but upon closer examination, you'll notice how seamlessly it melted into your skin and how much more radiant you look. Size: 3.38 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'At first, I thought this shimmering oil was just merely oil. The formula rubbed into beautifully and smells amazing, but as someone with a deeper complexion, I feared the 'golden' effect would disappear—I was wrong. The trick is to let one layer dry completely before applying another. My skin looks glowy and bronzed in a way that no other body oil has been able to achieve. Just remember to shake to get the full glistening effect.'—Nerisha Penrose No vacation is complete without a Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil. This OG scent deserves all the shine, thanks to its silky, glossy finish that illuminates every part of the body the oil touches. The sunny scent is reminiscent of salty sea water, sunscreen, and florals warmed up under the sun. Size: 3.4 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'When I'm on vacation and don't feel like wearing perfume, I simply apply this Tom Ford shimmering oil and it does the trick. Not only does it smell like the most relaxing sunny vacation, but the glittery formula imparts a soft radiance that enhances any look, especially when applied to the decolletage.'—Nerisha Penrose Designed with and for Black women, the formula is focused more on nourishment than the actual glow. The warm bronze shade complements deeper skin tones, while sweet almond oil and mineral oil impart a healthy sheen. An Amazon reviewer says: 'Light texture, soft scent, and radiant skin. I would definitely buy it again!' Moroccanoil hair products consistently deliver soft, silky results for your strands, and its body oil iteration is no exception. The oil melts into your skin like butter, giving you a kissed-by-the-sun radiance. Size: 1.7 fl oz A Moroccanoil reviewer says: 'Super hydrating, and nourishing! Love it! The shimmer is subtle and not clumpy but super gorgeous! One of my tips is sometimes I use it plain but sometimes I add a little to my favorite body lotion to make it have a hint of shine!' The deep bronze color gives lighter skin tones the perfect fake-a-tan finish and accentuates the radiant complexion of deeper tones. Perfect for those who want a subtle glow. Size: 2.5 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'This has been my go-to body oil for 20 years. 5 star formula BUT the size has shrunk. Used to be a much bigger bottle for the same price.' Created with a nourishing blend of oils, ABH delivers shine and moisture with each pump. If you dislike heavy oils, this is an expert favorite, particularly because of its lightweight finish. Size: 1.5 fl oz Our expert says: 'It's lightweight, never greasy, and illuminates with a golden glow finish. My favorite is that it's dermatologist-tested. I have very sensitive skin, so that's the only thing I consider before applying anything to my skin.'—Nerisha Penrose If you prefer your body oils with a deep tint, add Sol de Janeiro's Copacabana Bronze oil to your collection. Cupuaçu butter, açaí oil, and coconut oil are the star ingredients, so you're getting moisture and glow all in one. Size: 2.5 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'I absolutely love this body glow! It makes my skin look beautifully tanned and radiant without feeling greasy. The scent is tropical and addictive—like summer in a bottle. It gives the perfect shimmer and lasts all day. Definitely a new favorite in my routine!' We all want to look as bronzed and moisturized as Rihanna—here's the solution. The formula is more of a gel-like consistency, but it melts into your skin like oil without feeling greasy. A little goes a long way, so opt for a brush to sheer the product instead of using your hands. Size: An ELLE editor says: 'When it comes to pigmented body shimmer products, this one from Fenty takes the cake. I typically use it with my hands but find the finish to be sweeter when applied with a kabuki brush. Because it has a gel-like texture, I apply it on top of my body moisturizer and let it work its magic.'—Nerisha Penrose You should know a body oil from the glow God himself wouldn't disappoint. Patrick Ta has packaged his signature glow for us to mimic at home, delivering an impeccable, sparkly glow that is sure to get you noticed. Size: 3.21 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'Everything in one product—glowy, great-smelling, and stunning. Very easy to blend. Makes your skin looks very natural and shiny. Perfect for everyday and for every season.' Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup by Gisaura at Sola Salons Pretty packaging is a plus, but there's more to consider when choosing a body shimmer oil. 'When purchasing a body shimmer, do a patch test to ensure you are not allergic,' Laporte says. If you prefer your oils with a tint, Laporte says to look for formulas that dry quickly to prevent stains on your clothes. 'Always go for one that is lightweight and gentle on the skin if you are sensitive. Also, look for the ones that are non-sticky. Since oils naturally separate, always give the bottle a shake before using.' 'Body shimmers should be applied as the last step in your skin care routine. After you shower, exfoliate and moisturize. Laporte adds that 'this gives the skin a layer of hydration that ensures the oil stays smoothly and maintains a nice glow,' Laporte adds. If the oil isn't fully transfer-proof, apply after getting dressed. 'If you decide you are wearing it during the day, I recommend SPF 30 to protect your skin's natural glow,' she says. 'The best tool to use when applying the skimmer is your fingers or a brush,' Laporte says. Her personal favorite? A brush, of course. 'I find when using your fingers, it can get sticky and messy. The oil clings more to the hands than to a brush. Always apply less than you think you would need. A little goes a long way. Apply as you need. Trust me; I learned this the hard way,' she explains.
