Flagged ingredients (17)

Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

Alcohol Denat.

solvent · astringent

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionDry skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Irritation:Drying and barrier-disrupting in high-alcohol formulas with regular use.

Denatured ethanol gives products a fast-drying, weightless feel, but as a leading ingredient it degrades the skin barrier with repeated use — a poor match for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Severity 8/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionPregnancy: Best avoidedBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:The most common cause of sunscreen photoallergy.
  • Environmental impact:Linked to coral bleaching; banned in Hawaii and other reef regions.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

The most controversial chemical UV filter: a top cause of sunscreen allergy, a suspected endocrine disruptor found in blood and breast milk, and banned in several reef jurisdictions for coral toxicity.

Severity 4/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Drying and defatting to the skin barrier.

Rubbing alcohol; used as a solvent in some products and drying to skin in meaningful concentrations.

Dimethicone

emollient · occlusive

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • 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.

CI 19140

colorant

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Rare hypersensitivity reactions, better documented in food than cosmetics.

Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.

Mica

pigment · pearlescent

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Skin-safe; the ingredient's controversy is ethical (mining labor), not toxicological.

The shimmer mineral in highlighters and glowy creams; safe on skin, with sourcing ethics being its real controversy.

CI 42090

colorant

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Rare reports of sensitivity.

A widely approved blue dye with a benign cosmetic safety record.

No concerns found (28)

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

Recognized ingredients (7)

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 enough data (1)

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.

  • aluminium calcium sodium silicate

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.
