Driven by Butylphenyl Methylpropional — EU CLP Repr. 1B, EU CosIng Annex II (prohibited in cosmetics)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
fragrance
The lily-of-the-valley scent 'Lilial', banned in EU cosmetics in 2022 after being classified as presumed toxic to human reproduction. Still legal in some other markets — check older or imported products.
surfactant
A strong anionic cleanser similar to SLS, appropriate only in well-formulated rinse-off products.
surfactant · foaming agent
A powerful foaming cleanser so reliably irritating that dermatology studies use it as the standard positive control for skin irritation. Fine for many in rinse-off use, but a poor match for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
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.
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.
surfactant
A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.
fragrance
A violet-type scent chemical requiring EU allergen declaration.
fragrance · uv absorber
A floral fixative on the EU allergen list, with early-stage evidence of weak hormonal activity being evaluated by regulators.
fragrance
A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.
film former · thickener
A common film-forming polymer scrutinized under the EU's microplastics restriction; skin safety itself is well established.
preservative
A mild food-grade preservative usually paired with sodium benzoate; well tolerated by most skin types.
colorant
Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.
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.
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.
