Driven by Titanium Dioxide — IARC Group 2B, EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
solvent
Plain ethanol — position on the label matters: near the top it is drying; near the bottom it is a harmless solvent trace.
preservative
Today's most common preservative, considered safe by the SCCS up to 1%. French authorities advise avoiding it in wipes and diaper-area products for children under 3 as a precaution.
emollient
The unsaturated precursor of squalane; prone to oxidation, which is why the stable hydrogenated form (squalane) is preferred.
uv filter · pigment
A mineral UV filter and pigment that is one of the safest sunscreen choices in cream form; the inhalation-based cancer classification only matters for powder and spray formats.
skin brightener
A gentler hydroquinone derivative considered safe at up to 2% (alpha-arbutin, face) by the EU's scientific committee.
preservative booster · skin conditioning
A preservative booster often paired with phenoxyethanol; low-risk overall with rare reports of contact allergy.
preservative
A mild food-grade preservative usually paired with sodium benzoate; well tolerated by most skin types.
emollient · occlusive
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.
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.
