Driven by Salicylic Acid — EU CLP Repr. 2, EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted), EU CLP Eye Dam. 1
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
exfoliant · anti-acne
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.
surfactant
A common 'sulfate-free' marketing substitute that cleans — and can strip — just as aggressively as the sulfates it replaces.
film former · thickener
A common film-forming polymer scrutinized under the EU's microplastics restriction; skin safety itself is well established.
preservative
A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.
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.
The US FDA has 2 adverse-event reports on file naming this product, most often for alopecia, burning sensation, dry skin.
These are unverified consumer and manufacturer submissions to openFDA— they don't establish that the product caused the reaction, and are not part of the safety score. Shown for transparency.
Same category, better ingredient safety score than this product — somewhere to look next if this one raised concerns.
