Severity 5/10
Babies & kids: Best avoided
  • Cancer concern:IARC reclassified talc as probably carcinogenic (2A) in 2024; historic asbestos contamination drives concern.

A mineral powder at the center of major litigation and a 2024 IARC upgrade to 'probably carcinogenic'. Regulators specifically warn against powder use on babies (inhalation risk); cornstarch is the standard substitute.

Severity 5/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Best avoided
  • Pore-clogging:Rated 4/5 on the comedogenic scale; a frequent trigger of facial breakouts.

A beloved natural moisturizer for body and hair that is nonetheless one of the most pore-clogging oils on facial skin.

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Unrectified bergamot oil is strongly phototoxic (berloque dermatitis).
  • Allergy risk:Contains declarable allergens limonene and linalool.

A citrus perfume oil that can cause dramatic burn-like pigmentation when skin is exposed to sun, unless the phototoxic bergapten has been removed.

Pore-clogging potential (1)

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 (5)

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

Recognized ingredients (3)

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.
