Driven by Imidazolidinyl Urea — EU CosIng Annex V: releases formaldehyde (IARC Group 1)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
preservative
A widely used formaldehyde-releasing preservative. Releases less formaldehyde than DMDM hydantoin but still triggers allergy in formaldehyde-sensitized people.
fragrance
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.
preservative
A preservative behind one of the largest contact-allergy epidemics in cosmetic history. The EU banned it from leave-on products and restricts it in rinse-off products to 15 ppm.
emollient · solvent
A blanket INCI name for cyclic silicone blends. The EU CosIng database maps Cyclomethicone to D4, which is now prohibited in EU cosmetics; modern formulas replace it with D5/D6.
fragrance · solvent
A fragrance solvent and fixative that must be declared on EU labels as a potential allergen.
fragrance
A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.
preservative
A synthetic preservative capped at 0.3% in the EU; generally tolerated but a known occasional irritant.
ph adjuster · emulsifier
A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.
occlusive · emollient
Highly refined mineral oil is an inert, non-sensitizing emollient. Its bad reputation comes from industrial-grade oils that are never permitted in cosmetics.
emulsifier
A common emulsifier; CIR advises against use on damaged skin because it can carry other ingredients deeper.
emollient · occlusive
The workhorse silicone — inert and non-sensitizing on skin (even FDA-approved as a skin protectant), with persistence in the environment as its main criticism.
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.
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.
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.
