What matters for menopause
- Treat skincare and wellbeing claims as cosmetic unless a product is a licensed medicine.
- Check ingredients against known sensitivities and existing medication.
- Discuss symptoms and treatment options with a GP or pharmacist rather than relying on product wording.
These listings are a starting point. Matching a shopper-related keyword does not establish suitability; check each product against your requirements.
How to choose beauty & personal care
Choose for your skin, hair and routine before choosing a sustainability badge. A formula that you cannot tolerate or finish is poor value, whatever its packaging claims.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Full ingredient list and intended use | Compare the exact formula and avoid ingredients you already know cause a reaction. | 'Natural' and 'hypoallergenic' do not guarantee suitability; seek professional advice for persistent symptoms. |
| Pack size, concentration and refill format | Compare price per 100 ml or 100 g, and whether you can realistically finish it. | A refill is useful only if it fits your container and remains available. |
| Named certification and its scope | Check the exact brand or range in the certifier's register. | Vegan ingredients, animal-testing policies and packaging impact are separate questions. |
Common mistake: Do not treat a green bottle, 'clean beauty' slogan or a high score as proof of medical benefit or allergy safety.
