What these statistics are
This page is a dated inventory of menopause-skincare product page language and ingredient lists (INCI) from a clean partial panel. Capture date: 2026-09-25.
It is not a clinic. It is not medical advice. There is no shop here.
Counts describe this dated inventory only. They are not population prevalence, not medical outcomes, and not product grades.
Panel size this freeze: EU panel (includes UK) N=38; global panel N=25. This is a clean partial panel, not a market census.
How we code claims and INCI, and what we exclude: see Methodology.
Capture date: 2026-09-25
Panel refresh default: quarterly (first Monday of January, April, July, and October, Europe/Berlin), or when Fabian or the COO triggers a refresh.
Clean partial panel this freeze: EU panel (includes UK) 38 SKUs; global panel 25 SKUs. Not a market census.

Ceramides and common actives on readable INCI lists
Among SKUs with readable INCI, how often ceramides and other dictionary classes appear on the label. The denominator is N_inci (readable INCI only). A blank INCI field is not evidence that ceramides are absent.
Ceramides (among SKUs with readable INCI): EU panel (includes UK) 4/30 = 13.3% (N_inci=30; 30 of 38 INCLUDE SKUs had readable INCI; 8 blank). global panel 3/25 = 12.0% (N_inci=25).
| Active class | Count | % of N_inci |
|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic acid | 20 | 20/30 = 66.7% |
| Shea | 15 | 15/30 = 50.0% |
| Peptides | 12 | 12/30 = 40.0% |
| Niacinamide | 11 | 11/30 = 36.7% |
| SPF / UV filters | 6 | 6/30 = 20.0% |
| Panthenol | 5 | 5/30 = 16.7% |
| Ceramides | 4 | 4/30 = 13.3% |
| Fatty acids (barrier) | 4 | 4/30 = 13.3% |
| Cholesterol (barrier) | 3 | 3/30 = 10.0% |
| Active class | Count | % of N_inci |
|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic acid | 16 | 16/25 = 64.0% |
| Peptides | 13 | 13/25 = 52.0% |
| Shea | 12 | 12/25 = 48.0% |
| Niacinamide | 10 | 10/25 = 40.0% |
| Cholesterol (barrier) | 4 | 4/25 = 16.0% |
| SPF / UV filters | 4 | 4/25 = 16.0% |
| Ceramides | 3 | 3/25 = 12.0% |
| Panthenol | 3 | 3/25 = 12.0% |
| Bakuchiol | 2 | 2/25 = 8.0% |
| Fatty acids (barrier) | 2 | 2/25 = 8.0% |
These figures describe this dated inventory only. They are not population prevalence. They are not medical outcomes. They are not product grades. Presence on an INCI list is not a grade of the product. Method: Methodology.

Clinical language without a named study
Among SKUs that use clinical-family language on the captured product page, how many name a bibliographic study (PMID, DOI, NCT, or a named study citation). This is an audit of clinical claimants only, not of every INCLUDE SKU. It is a category method check on captured PDP text, not a brand ranking.
- EU panel (includes UK): 22/22 = 100.0% of clinical claimants had no named study on captured PDP text (N_clin=22; named_study YES=0; among INCLUDE N=38). Capture date: 2026-09-25.
- global panel: 14/14 = 100.0% of clinical claimants had no named study on captured PDP text (N_clin=14; named_study YES=0; among INCLUDE N=25). Capture date: 2026-09-25.
Unnamed phrasing such as "clinical study", "clinically proven", or similar, without a PMID, DOI, NCT, or named bibliographic study, counts as named_study NO.
These figures describe clinical claimants in this dated inventory only. They are not population prevalence. They are not medical outcomes. They are not product grades. Soft: coded on captured PDP text. No brand names in this draft (equal-space Freigabe B later if PL adds names). Method: Methodology.
