Hyalu volume complex 3D — ingredient safety report

• Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
• Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.

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.

• Pore-clogging:Rates high on comedogenicity scales.

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

• Allergy risk:American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year 2018.
• Irritation:Can irritate compromised skin at higher concentrations.

A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.

• Environmental impact:Classified vPvB (very persistent, very bioaccumulative); EU restricts it in cosmetics from 2027.

A volatile silicone giving that silky slip, now being phased down in the EU because it persists and accumulates in aquatic ecosystems.

• Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.

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

• 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.

• 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.
