Flagged ingredients (5)

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

Talc

absorbent · texturizer

Severity 5/10

Babies & kids: Best avoided

Cancer concern:IARC reclassified talc as probably carcinogenic (2A) in 2024; historic asbestos contamination drives concern.

IARC Group 2A ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

A mineral powder at the center of major litigation and a 2024 IARC upgrade to 'probably carcinogenic'. Regulators specifically warn against powder use on babies (inhalation risk); cornstarch is the standard substitute.

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.

Menthol

cooling agent · fragrance

Severity 4/10Editorial

Sensitive skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution

Irritation:Sensory irritant; the cooling feeling signals nerve stimulation, not soothing.

EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

The cooling molecule from mint. Refreshing on healthy skin but a genuine irritant for reactive, broken or infant skin.

Dimethicone

emollient · occlusive

Severity 3/10Editorial

Environmental impact:Not biodegradable; accumulates in the environment via wash-off.

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.

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.
