Salicylic Acid

exfoliant · anti-acne

Severity 4/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: High cautionPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Dryness and peeling at exfoliating concentrations (0.5–2%).
EU CLP Repr. 2 ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

The pore-clearing BHA exfoliant. Not for young children (salicylate absorption), used cautiously in pregnancy at low leave-on concentrations, and drying for compromised barriers.

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionDry skin: High cautionEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Irritation:Comparable irritation profile to SLS in leave-on contact.

A strong anionic cleanser similar to SLS, appropriate only in well-formulated rinse-off products.

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.

Alcohol

solvent

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Drying when high on the ingredient list; negligible in trace amounts.

Plain ethanol — position on the label matters: near the top it is drying; near the bottom it is a harmless solvent trace.

Hamamelis Virginiana Water

astringent · botanical

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: High cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Astringent tannins and frequent alcohol content can dry and irritate.

A traditional astringent toner ingredient whose tannins (and often added alcohol) can disrupt an already compromised skin barrier.

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.

Decyl Glucoside

surfactant

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen (Allergen of the Year 2017 family).

A gentle sugar-based cleanser used in baby and sensitive-skin washes; allergy is uncommon but documented.

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 (1)

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 (7)

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

Recognized ingredients (2)

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 lauryl glucose carboxylate· cleansing, surfactant - cleansing
  • hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride· antistatic, hair conditioning

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.
