Driven by Butylphenyl Methylpropional — EU CLP Repr. 1B, EU CosIng Annex II (prohibited in cosmetics)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
fragrance
The lily-of-the-valley scent 'Lilial', banned in EU cosmetics in 2022 after being classified as presumed toxic to human reproduction. Still legal in some other markets — check older or imported products.
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 · foaming agent
The gentler cousin of SLS used in most mainstream shampoos and washes. Its manufacturing can leave trace 1,4-dioxane, which reputable makers strip out — an issue of quality control rather than the ingredient itself.
fragrance
A violet-type scent chemical requiring EU allergen declaration.
fragrance
A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.
fragrance
A rose-type scent component on the EU's mandatory-declaration allergen list.
fragrance · solvent
A fragrance solvent and fixative that must be declared on EU labels as a potential allergen.
fragrance · uv absorber
A floral fixative on the EU allergen list, with early-stage evidence of weak hormonal activity being evaluated by regulators.
preservative · solvent · fragrance
A preservative and fragrance component that must be declared on EU labels because it can trigger contact allergy in a small share of users.
colorant
Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.
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.
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.
