Flagged ingredients (3)

Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

Talc

absorbent · texturizer

Severity 5/10
Babies & kids: Best avoided
  • Cancer concern:IARC reclassified talc as probably carcinogenic (2A) in 2024; historic asbestos contamination drives concern.

A mineral powder at the center of major litigation and a 2024 IARC upgrade to 'probably carcinogenic'. Regulators specifically warn against powder use on babies (inhalation risk); cornstarch is the standard substitute.

Dimethicone

emollient · occlusive

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Not biodegradable; accumulates in the environment via wash-off.

The workhorse silicone — inert and non-sensitizing on skin (even FDA-approved as a skin protectant), with persistence in the environment as its main criticism.

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 (4)

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

Not enough data (7)

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.

  • CYCLOPENTASILOXANE PROPYLENE GLYCOL
  • CETYLETHYLHEXANOATE PEG/PPG-18/18 DIMETHICONE
  • PHENOXYETHANOL LAURETH-7. SILICA TRIHYDROXYSTEARIN METHICONE ARACHIDYL BEHENATE
  • 12-HEXANEDIOL
  • SYNTHETIC WAX MICA
  • ETHYLENE BRASSYLATE BEHENIC ACID
  • POLYETHYLENE BARIUM SULFATE

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.
