Knowing which allergens are present in cosmetic products is especially important for people with sensitive skin or specific allergies. This article outlines the most common allergens found in MURR products and how to recognize them.

Common allergens

The most frequently occurring allergens in Selfnamed products include Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, and Eugenol.

Product labels

Each MURR product clearly displays its ingredient list on the product page. Review this list carefully to spot any potential allergens. If a product is free from allergens, it will be marked with a dedicated label.

Conclusion

If you have allergies or sensitive skin, always check the ingredient list before using any product. For additional questions or concerns, contact murr.store@hotmail.com.

All MURR products can be used by men. In addition, there are dedicated options created specifically for male customers, such as Softening Beard Oil, 2-in-1 Hair & Body Wash for Men, and similar products.

We don’t advise using PROWLING skincare products on children under the age of 12. At this stage, the skin is still developing and typically doesn’t require additional treatments or supplements, as these may have long-term effects.

However, there is an exception — our baby care range.

This includes Baby Body Wash, Baby Foaming Wash, Baby Body Lotion, and Gentle Baby Shampoo.

As a skincare brand owner, it’s important to trust the quality of what you offer your customers. At MURR, we place strong emphasis on carefully sourcing raw materials and botanical extracts.

Local and responsible sourcing

We focus on obtaining ingredients locally from reliable, high-quality suppliers. This approach helps ensure strict quality control, reduces environmental impact, and complies with European cosmetic safety standards.

Supplier confidentiality

While we are transparent about the ingredients used in our formulas, the identities of our partners, laboratories, and raw material suppliers remain confidential.

What you can communicate to your customers

Even without disclosing supplier names, you can still present your brand in a clear and trustworthy way. You can confidently highlight:

- Full INCI ingredient lists for each product (available on product pages)

- Responsible sourcing and production in Northern Europe

- A commitment to clean, cruelty-free, high-quality formulations, including COSMOS / Ecocert certified products

At MURR, palm oil is not used as a standalone ingredient in formulations. However, certain ingredients may include palm-derived components (such as palmitic acid), typically in very small amounts and present in most products.

All ingredients that contain palm-derived elements are certified by Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, meaning they come from responsibly managed and sustainably cultivated sources.

Not all alcohols are the same, and they are not inherently harmful to the skin. At PROWLING, every ingredient is carefully assessed to ensure it is safe for use.

To determine whether a specific product includes alcohol or its derivatives, refer to the INCI ingredient list provided on the product page.

That said, most products may contain trace amounts of alcohol. This is because many plant extracts (except oil-based ones) are produced using alcohol during the extraction process.

As a result, even if alcohol or its derivatives are not listed in the INCI, the products cannot be classified as completely alcohol-free.

The only sulfate used in PROWLING formulations is sodium coco sulfate (SCS), which is approved by the certification body COSMOS. SCS does not penetrate the epidermis and is generally much less irritating compared to commonly used sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. It is created by combining ascorbic acid with palmitic acid and is included in formulations for its antioxidant properties.

Yes. All products are formulated without parabens, mineral oils, silicones, PEGs, chemical UV filters, microplastics, synthetic fragrances, artificial colorants, and other questionable ingredients.

Airless packaging helps preserve product freshness by limiting exposure to air. Because of this, a Period After Opening (PAO) is not provided. Instead, you should rely on the “best before” date indicated on the packaging.

This means the product remains safe and effective to use up until that date, regardless of when it was first opened. Always check the “best before” marking to ensure it is within the recommended usage period.

Yes. PROWLING products are developed to handle cold conditions. If a product freezes during transit, it remains safe to use once it returns to normal temperature.

What to do if your product has frozen

• 
  Let it sit at room temperature for about 24 hours before use
  
• 
  After fully thawing, it should perform as expected with no loss of effectiveness
  

If anything seems unusual after thawing, contact the support team for further assistance.

Introduction

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, product safety becomes especially important. Here is what you need to know about using PROWLING products during this period.

Safety measures

All products are formulated with clean ingredients and go through safety assessments. However, they have not been specifically tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Recommendation

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, review the ingredient list of any product with a healthcare professional to address potential concerns.

Conclusion

Safety remains the top priority. For any uncertainties about using these products during pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider or contact support directly.

Transparency in sourcing and formulation is a key principle at MURR. Product composition follows the standards set by Ecocert / COSMOS.

Natural certified formulas

The exact percentage depends on the specific product, so refer to its description for precise details. In general, natural certified formulas contain at least 95% natural ingredients.

Organic certified formulas

For organic certification, at least 95% of the total ingredients must be natural. In addition, a minimum of 10% of the formula must come from organic farming, and 95% of all plant-based ingredients must also be organic.

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) has been used for centuries in areas such as medicine, cleaning, and manufacturing. Today, it also plays an important role in organic cosmetics due to its natural origin and antimicrobial properties. Despite common concerns, scientific evidence provides a clearer picture of its effects on the skin.

FAQ: Alcohol in Skincare and Organic Cosmetics

1. What type of alcohol is used in organic cosmetics?

Certified natural cosmetics use only natural ethyl alcohol (ethanol), also known as food-grade or grain alcohol. It is derived from fermented plant sources such as wheat, rye, corn, or sugarcane.

Note: Not all “alcohols” are the same—substances like glycerine or menthol differ significantly. This refers specifically to ethyl alcohol.

2. Does alcohol dry out the skin?

No.

Research shows that ethanol does not increase transepidermal water loss, meaning it does not strip moisture from the skin. In some cases, alcohol-based sanitizers are even considered gentler than soap and water.

3. Does alcohol irritate the skin?

No.

Studies indicate little to no irritation from ethanol, even at high concentrations. It has a long history of safe topical use, including in medical settings.

4. Can alcohol cause allergic reactions?

No.

Although it may create a brief stinging sensation on already irritated skin, ethanol does not trigger true allergic reactions. Scientific literature does not confirm cases of alcohol allergy.

5. Is alcohol absorbed into the skin?

No.

Due to its high volatility and chemical structure, ethanol evaporates quickly and does not significantly enter the bloodstream through the skin.

6. Do alcohol-containing products damage the skin?

No.

Alcohol evaporates within seconds (half-life ~11.7 seconds), limiting skin exposure. Compared to many synthetic preservatives, it has lower toxicity and minimal long-term impact.

7. Is alcohol suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

Yes.

At the low levels used in organic cosmetics, it is considered safe for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin. For oily or combination skin, it may also help regulate sebum.

8. What are the benefits of alcohol in cosmetics?

• 
  Acts as a natural preservative, maintaining product safety
  
• 
  Improves absorption of active ingredients
  
• 
  Dries quickly without leaving residue
  
• 
  Generally less toxic than many synthetic preservatives
  

Conclusion: Is alcohol in cosmetics safe?

Yes. Scientific evidence supports that ethanol is safe and non-damaging to the skin, even at higher concentrations than those typically used in cosmetics. In natural formulations, it serves an important function in preservation and performance.
