Driven by DMDM Hydantoin — EU CosIng Annex V: releases formaldehyde (IARC Group 1)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
preservative
A formaldehyde-releasing preservative used in creams, shampoos and wipes. The slow formaldehyde release preserves the product but exposes skin to a known carcinogen and allergen.
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.
surfactant · foaming agent
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.
emulsifier
An emulsifier that scores relatively high for pore-clogging potential in classic comedogenicity testing.
fragrance
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.
fragrance · solvent
The citrus-peel scent molecule. Like linalool, it becomes allergenic mainly after oxidizing in opened products.
solvent
Rubbing alcohol; used as a solvent in some products and drying to skin in meaningful concentrations.
fragrance
The lemon-scent molecule in lemongrass and citrus oils, a recognized contact allergen requiring EU label declaration.
humectant · solvent
A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.
surfactant
A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.
fragrance
A rose-type scent component on the EU's mandatory-declaration allergen list.
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.
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.
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.
Same category, better ingredient safety score than this product — somewhere to look next if this one raised concerns.
