Note that manufacturers may change formulations
This note is a standard disclaimer used by cosmetic brands to inform shoppers that the ingredients or formulation of a product may change over time. Manufacturers update recipes for various reasons, so the list on the packaging at the time of purchase is the most accurate.
How it works in skincare
In the UK beauty industry this phrase appears in ingredient glossaries, product descriptions and marketing materials to remind consumers that formulations are not set in stone. Brands must comply with EU and UK Cosmetics Regulation requirements to list ingredients accurately on the label, but they retain the right to tweak blends for performance, stability, sourcing or regulatory updates. The disclaimer protects both the company and the shopper by directing them to check the current pack for the definitive ingredient list.
