I would suggest that great care is needed when choosing cosmetics as the impact can be serious and long lasting.
I have kept the script short as I can.
I applied a Bayliss and Harding product in 2014.
Immediate serious allergic reaction ensued with raw lesions on arms and leg. Had to go to see a Dermatologist (one of many) and we both tried to get the make up of the product from Bayliss and Harding but nothing was provided to aid . Just referred to an Insurance Claims Handling Agent.
Absolutely no corncern, compassion or assistance shown by Bayliss and Harding.
Even our local MP struggled with their attitude and got nowhere; no reflection on her.
Eleven years on we still have got ongoing issues with my skin which all started with the Bayliss and Harding lotion.

It's a very highly perfumed product. So allergies are likely.

But I'm confused as the product ingredients are listed on both the packaging and retailer websites

Most toiletries are so heavily perfumed, (including baby ones) I stick to unscented everything to avoid skin sensitivity.
One of my mother's friends was a pharmacist, and advised her 50 years ago to use unscented products when I suffered with hives in the summer.
