Driven by Diazolidinyl Urea — EU CosIng Annex V: releases formaldehyde (IARC Group 1)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
preservative
A formaldehyde-releasing preservative common in lotions and cleansers, and a recognized cause of preservative contact allergy.
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.
emollient
A close relative of isopropyl myristate with a similar pore-clogging reputation for acne-prone skin.
preservative
An iodine-based preservative with EU restrictions including a ban in lip products and limits for young children.
humectant · solvent
A workhorse humectant and penetration enhancer that is fine for most, but a recurring culprit in eczema patients' patch tests.
uv filter
A UVB filter under regulatory re-review for hormonal effects and banned in some reef regions; steadily being replaced by newer filters in modern sunscreens.
ph adjuster · emulsifier
A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.
emulsifier
A common emulsifier; CIR advises against use on damaged skin because it can carry other ingredients deeper.
chelating agent
A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.
pigment · pearlescent
The shimmer mineral in highlighters and glowy creams; safe on skin, with sourcing ethics being its real controversy.
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.
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.
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.
Same category, better ingredient safety score than this product — somewhere to look next if this one raised concerns.
