Flagged ingredients (11)

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 4/10
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.

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.

Phenoxyethanol

preservative

Severity 3/10
Babies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Occasional stinging and irritation, mostly around eyes and on damaged skin.

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.

Ethylhexylglycerin

preservative booster · skin conditioning

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.

A preservative booster often paired with phenoxyethanol; low-risk overall with rare reports of contact allergy.

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.

Sodium Benzoate

preservative

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Irritation:Can cause transient, non-allergic flushing/stinging on reactive skin.

A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.

No concerns found (34)

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

Recognized ingredients (4)

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.

  • Quaternium-80· antistatic, hair conditioning
  • Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate· hair conditioning, hair waving or straig…
  • Bis-Cetearyl Amodimethicone· hair conditioning
  • Sodium Nitrate· oral care, soothing

Not enough data (4)

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.

  • Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil
  • Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil
  • Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil
  • Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil

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.

Reported to the FDA (16)

The US FDA has 16 adverse-event reports on file naming this product, most often for alopecia, trichorrhexis, pruritus.

These are unverified consumer and manufacturer submissions to openFDA— they don't establish that the product caused the reaction, and are not part of the safety score. Shown for transparency.
