Flagged ingredients (9)

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

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

surfactant · foaming agent

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionDry skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Milder than SLS but still drying for compromised skin.

The gentler cousin of SLS used in most mainstream shampoos and washes. Its manufacturing can leave trace 1,4-dioxane, which reputable makers strip out — an issue of quality control rather than the ingredient itself.

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.

Lactic Acid

exfoliant · humectant

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Milder than glycolic; still increases photosensitivity.

A gentler AHA that exfoliates and hydrates simultaneously; the usual pick for drier or more reactive skin starting acids.

Potassium Sorbate

preservative

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Occasional transient stinging or redness on sensitive skin.

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

Sodium Benzoate

preservative

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Irritation:Can cause transient, non-allergic flushing/stinging on reactive skin.

A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Rare Asteraceae cross-reactions in ragweed-allergic individuals.

A gentle calming botanical; the rare reactions occur mostly in people allergic to ragweed-family plants.

CI 42090

colorant

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Rare reports of sensitivity.

A widely approved blue dye with a benign cosmetic safety record.

Pore-clogging potential (3)

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 (12)

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

Recognized ingredients (6)

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.

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.
