Flagged ingredients (4)

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

Diazolidinyl Urea

preservative

Severity 6/10
Sensitive skin: High cautionPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Cancer concern:Formaldehyde releaser (IARC Group 1 substance).
  • Allergy risk:Contact allergen; stronger releaser than imidazolidinyl urea.

A formaldehyde-releasing preservative common in lotions and cleansers, and a recognized cause of preservative contact allergy.

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.

Paraffinum Liquidum

occlusive · emollient

Severity 2/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Use with caution
  • Pore-clogging:Cosmetic grade is minimally comedogenic despite its reputation.

Highly refined mineral oil is an inert, non-sensitizing emollient. Its bad reputation comes from industrial-grade oils that are never permitted in cosmetics.

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.

No concerns found (9)

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

Recognized ingredients (1)

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.

  • Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate· surfactant - emulsifying, viscosity cont…

Not enough data (2)

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.

  • Uriage Thermal Spring Water
  • Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax)

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.
