Flagged ingredients (9)

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

Octocrylene

uv filter

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:Rising cause of contact and photoallergy, especially in children.
  • Environmental impact:Accumulates in aquatic life; degrades into benzophenone over time.

A stabilizing UV filter that can degrade into benzophenone as products age, and an increasingly reported allergen — replace old tubes of octocrylene sunscreens.

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.

Triethanolamine

ph adjuster · emulsifier

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Irritating at higher concentrations or in leave-on products.
  • Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen.

A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.

Chlorphenesin

preservative

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Can irritate sensitive or compromised skin.

A synthetic preservative capped at 0.3% in the EU; generally tolerated but a known occasional irritant.

Cyclopentasiloxane

emollient · solvent

Severity 6/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Classified vPvB (very persistent, very bioaccumulative); EU restricts it in cosmetics from 2027.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

A volatile silicone giving that silky slip, now being phased down in the EU because it persists and accumulates in aquatic ecosystems.

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.

Snail Secretion Filtrate

humectant · soothing agent

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Rare allergy reported, plausibly cross-reacting with dust-mite/shellfish allergens.

The K-beauty hydrator with a devoted following; rare allergic reactions have been linked to cross-reactivity with mite and mollusk allergens.

No concerns found (7)

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.

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.

  • ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE ISODODECANE
  • POLYSORBATE 60. SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE
  • GLYCERIN HYALURONIC ACID
  • BUTYLENE GLYCOL 6 ml

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.
