Driven by Salicylic Acid — EU CLP Repr. 2, EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted), EU CLP Eye Dam. 1
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
exfoliant · anti-acne
The pore-clearing BHA exfoliant. Not for young children (salicylate absorption), used cautiously in pregnancy at low leave-on concentrations, and drying for compromised barriers.
emollient
A silky-feel emollient that repeatedly tops comedogenicity rankings — acne-prone users should watch for it in face products.
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
The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.
fragrance
A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.
preservative · solvent · fragrance
A preservative and fragrance component that must be declared on EU labels because it can trigger contact allergy in a small share of users.
exfoliant · humectant
A gentler AHA that exfoliates and hydrates simultaneously; the usual pick for drier or more reactive skin starting acids.
preservative
A mild food-grade preservative usually paired with sodium benzoate; well tolerated by most skin types.
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.
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 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.
