Flagged ingredients (5)

Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

Alcohol Denat.

solvent · astringent

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionDry skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Irritation:Drying and barrier-disrupting in high-alcohol formulas with regular use.

Denatured ethanol gives products a fast-drying, weightless feel, but as a leading ingredient it degrades the skin barrier with repeated use — a poor match for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Octocrylene

uv filter

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:Rising cause of contact and photoallergy, especially in children.
  • Environmental impact:Accumulates in aquatic life; degrades into benzophenone over time.

A stabilizing UV filter that can degrade into benzophenone as products age, and an increasingly reported allergen — replace old tubes of octocrylene sunscreens.

Ceteareth-20

emulsifier

Severity 2/10Editorial
Eczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Can enhance penetration of other ingredients; avoid on broken skin.

A common emulsifier; CIR advises against use on damaged skin because it can carry other ingredients deeper.

Homosalate

uv filter

Pregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with caution

A UVB filter the EU sharply restricted in 2022 after its scientific committee flagged potential endocrine effects at former use levels.

Ethylhexylglycerin

preservative booster · skin conditioning

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.

A preservative booster often paired with phenoxyethanol; low-risk overall with rare reports of contact allergy.

Pore-clogging potential (1)

Ingredients rated likely to clog pores — relevant if your skin is acne-prone. This is a separate indicator and is not part of the safety score.

Indicative Fulton-scale ratings from published dermatology references — not a regulator classification; individual reactions vary.

No concerns found (11)

Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.

Recognized ingredients (4)

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.

  • sodium phenylbenzimidazole sulfonate· uv absorber, uv filter
  • aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder· skin conditioning
  • sodium acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer· film forming

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.

  • butyl methoxydibenzolmethane

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.

Lower-concern sunscreens

Same category, better ingredient safety score than this product — somewhere to look next if this one raised concerns.
