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 (15)
Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.
