Driven by Imidazolidinyl Urea — EU CosIng Annex V: releases formaldehyde (IARC Group 1)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
preservative
A widely used formaldehyde-releasing preservative. Releases less formaldehyde than DMDM hydantoin but still triggers allergy in formaldehyde-sensitized people.
fragrance
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.
preservative
The chlorinated partner of MIT, restricted in the EU to rinse-off products only. A leading cause of preservative contact dermatitis worldwide.
preservative
A preservative behind one of the largest contact-allergy epidemics in cosmetic history. The EU banned it from leave-on products and restricts it in rinse-off products to 15 ppm.
surfactant · foaming agent
The gentler cousin of SLS used in most mainstream shampoos and washes. Its manufacturing can leave trace 1,4-dioxane, which reputable makers strip out — an issue of quality control rather than the ingredient itself.
fragrance
A sweet balsamic scent chemical and recognized contact allergen on the EU declaration list.
fragrance
The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.
surfactant · foam booster
A foam booster classified as possibly carcinogenic by IARC and largely phased out of reputable formulas since its 2012 Prop 65 listing.
surfactant
A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.
colorant
Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.
colorant
A widely approved blue dye with a benign cosmetic safety record.
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.
Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.
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.
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.
