Another name for cucumber??!!

[sarahmarie]

Hi guys!!
I know I might be sounding really thick here but I just wondered if cucumber/cucumber extract etc is sometimes listed as another word on the 'ingredients' section on beauty products??

The reason for my question is that I have had a lovely client today for a brow wax and she informed me of a bad allergy to cucumber and with alot of facial products containing cucumber, I just wanted to be certain that I don't use anything that contains traces of it on her.. I know that cucumber is probably just listed as 'cucumber' but just thought that it MAY have a more scientific name as some other things do!!

Hope I have explained myself ok?!
Thank you in advance for your help guys xxxx

Actually these being the scientific name makes it reconizable worldwide and less prone to mistakes by importers.
