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.
preservative
A preservative behind one of the largest contact-allergy epidemics in cosmetic history. The EU banned it from leave-on products and restricts it in rinse-off products to 15 ppm.
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.
fragrance
A synthetic lily-of-the-valley scent and well-documented contact allergen.
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
A rose/geranium scent molecule and one of the more frequently positive fragrance allergens in patch testing.
fragrance
A citrus oil that is both phototoxic in sunlight and increasingly allergenic as its limonene oxidizes.
anti-dandruff
The classic dandruff active banned in EU cosmetics in 2022 (reproductive-toxicity classification) but still standard in US shampoos.
preservative
Today's most common preservative, considered safe by the SCCS up to 1%. French authorities advise avoiding it in wipes and diaper-area products for children under 3 as a precaution.
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.
fragrance
A violet-type scent chemical requiring EU allergen declaration.
fragrance
A common jasmine-scented ingredient in fine fragrance and skincare, declared as an allergen on EU labels.
emollient · occlusive
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.
colorant
Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.
colorant
A widely approved blue dye with a benign cosmetic safety record.
preservative
A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.
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.
