Flagged ingredients (5)

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

Severity 5/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Best avoided
  • Pore-clogging:Rated 4/5 on the comedogenic scale; a frequent trigger of facial breakouts.

A beloved natural moisturizer for body and hair that is nonetheless one of the most pore-clogging oils on facial skin.

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.

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.

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.

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 (11)

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

Recognized ingredients (3)

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.

  • Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate· cleansing, surfactant - cleansing
  • Yogurt Powder· hair conditioning
  • Yogurt Extract· hair conditioning, skin conditioning

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.

  • Gyal Distearate
  • Butyrospermu Parkii (Shea) Butter*
  • Trichilia Emetica (Mafura S Oil
  • Guar Hydroxy Chloride
  • Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Tour Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
  • Caprylyl Glyc Benzoic Acid
  • Sod Methyltaurate

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.
