Flagged ingredients (8)

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

Alcohol Denat.

solvent · astringent

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionDry skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Irritation:Drying and barrier-disrupting in high-alcohol formulas with regular use.

Denatured ethanol gives products a fast-drying, weightless feel, but as a leading ingredient it degrades the skin barrier with repeated use — a poor match for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Mentha Piperita Oil

fragrance · cooling agent

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:The cooling sensation is mild sensory irritation; can burn on damaged skin.

Provides a fresh tingle that is actually mild irritation; problematic on compromised or young skin.

Menthol

cooling agent · fragrance

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Sensory irritant; the cooling feeling signals nerve stimulation, not soothing.

The cooling molecule from mint. Refreshing on healthy skin but a genuine irritant for reactive, broken or infant skin.

Linalool

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.

A floral scent molecule found in lavender and many essential oils. It oxidizes on air exposure into strongly sensitizing compounds, which is why it must be declared on EU labels.

Cyclomethicone

emollient · solvent

Severity 6/10Editorial
Pregnancy: Use with caution
  • Environmental impact:CosIng identifies Cyclomethicone with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), which is prohibited in EU cosmetics (Annex II) as persistent/bioaccumulative and a suspected reproductive toxicant.

A blanket INCI name for cyclic silicone blends. The EU CosIng database maps Cyclomethicone to D4, which is now prohibited in EU cosmetics; modern formulas replace it with D5/D6.

Disodium EDTA

chelating agent

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Poorly biodegradable; can remobilize heavy metals in waterways.

A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.

Pore-clogging potential (3)

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 (16)

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

Recognized ingredients (4)

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 enough data (1)

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.

  • Theobroma Cacao Butter

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.
