Parfum

fragrance

Severity 7/10Editorial

Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided

Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.

Caredermis curated dermatological review

An umbrella term that can hide dozens of undisclosed scent chemicals. Fragrance is the leading cause of allergic contact dermatitis from cosmetics, and dermatologists routinely advise fragrance-free products for eczema, babies and sensitive skin.

Propylene Glycol

humectant · solvent

Severity 3/10Editorial

Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution

Allergy risk:American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year 2018.
Irritation:Can irritate compromised skin at higher concentrations.

A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

uv filter

Severity 4/10Editorial

Sensitive skin: Use with caution

Allergy risk:Degradation products can cause photoallergy when unstabilized.

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.

Disodium EDTA

chelating agent

Severity 3/10Editorial

Environmental impact:Poorly biodegradable; can remobilize heavy metals in waterways.

A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.

Decyl Glucoside

surfactant

Severity 2/10Editorial

Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen (Allergen of the Year 2017 family).

A gentle sugar-based cleanser used in baby and sensitive-skin washes; allergy is uncommon but documented.

Not enough data (1)

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.
