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

Parfum

fragrance

Severity 7/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
  • Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

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.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:A strong 'sulfate-free' cleanser that can be as stripping as sulfates.

A common 'sulfate-free' marketing substitute that cleans — and can strip — just as aggressively as the sulfates it replaces.

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.

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.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:Named Allergen of the Year 2004; impurities (amidoamine) drive most reactions.

A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.

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.

Pore-clogging potential (2)

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 (8)

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

Recognized ingredients (5)

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.

  • PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate· surfactant - emulsifying
  • Cymbidium Grandiflorum Flower Extract· skin conditioning
  • Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract· hair conditioning
  • Malpighia Glabra Fruit Extract· skin conditioning
  • Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate· anti-seborrheic, antimicrobial

Not enough data (7)

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.

  • PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/lsostearamide
  • Vitis Vinifera (Grape/Grain De Raisin) Seed Oil
  • Methoxycinnamate
  • Polyquafernium-10
  • Ethylhexy Diazolidinyl Urea
  • lodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
  • Cl 17200/Red 33

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.
