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

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.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:A strong 'sulfate-free' cleanser that can be as stripping as sulfates.

A common 'sulfate-free' marketing substitute that cleans — and can strip — just as aggressively as the sulfates it replaces.

Laureth-4

emulsifier

Severity 4/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: High caution
  • Pore-clogging:Rates high on comedogenicity scales.

An emulsifier that scores relatively high for pore-clogging potential in classic comedogenicity testing.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:Named Allergen of the Year 2004; impurities (amidoamine) drive most reactions.

A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.

Phenoxyethanol

preservative

Severity 3/10
Babies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Occasional stinging and irritation, mostly around eyes and on damaged skin.
EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

Today's most common preservative, considered safe by the SCCS up to 1%. French authorities advise avoiding it in wipes and diaper-area products for children under 3 as a precaution.

Acrylates Copolymer

film former · thickener

Severity 4/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Synthetic polymer counted as a microplastic under the EU restriction when in particle form.

A common film-forming polymer scrutinized under the EU's microplastics restriction; skin safety itself is well established.

Potassium Sorbate

preservative

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Occasional transient stinging or redness on sensitive skin.
EU CLP Eye Irrit. 2 ↗

A mild food-grade preservative usually paired with sodium benzoate; well tolerated by most skin types.

Ethylhexylglycerin

preservative booster · skin conditioning

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.
EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

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

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.

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 (16)

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.

Not enough data (2)

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.

  • Limonene ID: 80-CHIAVES

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.
