Linalool

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.
EU CLP Skin Sens. 1B ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

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.

Eugenol

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; clove-scented sensitizer.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.

Propylene Glycol

humectant · solvent

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year 2018.
  • Irritation:Can irritate compromised skin at higher concentrations.

A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.

Disodium EDTA

chelating agent

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Poorly biodegradable; can remobilize heavy metals in waterways.

A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.

No concerns found (3)

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

Not enough data (3)

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.
