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.

Eugenol

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; clove-scented sensitizer.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.

Linalool

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.
EU CLP Skin Sens. 1B ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

A floral scent molecule found in lavender and many essential oils. It oxidizes on air exposure into strongly sensitizing compounds, which is why it must be declared on EU labels.

Coumarin

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen found in tonka bean and many perfumes.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.

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.

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.

Recognized ingredients (1)

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.

  • Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate· antioxidant

This report is informational, not medical advice.
