Driven by Titanium Dioxide — IARC Group 2B, EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
solvent
Plain ethanol — position on the label matters: near the top it is drying; near the bottom it is a harmless solvent trace.
uv filter
The main UVA filter in US sunscreens. Safe when properly stabilized, but it breaks down in sunlight into potentially sensitizing fragments in poorly formulated products.
uv filter · pigment
A mineral UV filter and pigment that is one of the safest sunscreen choices in cream form; the inhalation-based cancer classification only matters for powder and spray formats.
chelating agent
A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.
Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.
Catalogued in official cosmetic-ingredient inventories (EU CosIng and others) with no safety flag on record. Being recognized isn't a safety guarantee — it means the ingredient is on record but no authority has published a concern.
Not found in any dataset we hold (often trade-name blends or very niche ingredients), so we can't assess them — this is not a safety judgment either way.
This report is informational, not medical advice. Assessments summarize published findings (EU CosIng, IARC, ECHA, CIR, SCCS and others) about ingredients — not clinical testing of this specific product. Exposure, concentration and individual sensitivity all matter. Consult a dermatologist for medical concerns.
