Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
absorbent · texturizer
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.
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.
fragrance
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.
fragrance
A common jasmine-scented ingredient in fine fragrance and skincare, declared as an allergen on EU labels.
fragrance · uv absorber
A floral fixative on the EU allergen list, with early-stage evidence of weak hormonal activity being evaluated by regulators.
fragrance
A violet-type scent chemical requiring EU allergen declaration.
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.
fragrance
A rose-type scent component on the EU's mandatory-declaration allergen list.
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.
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.
colorant
Tartrazine yellow dye; approved for cosmetics with rare sensitivity reactions reported.
pigment · pearlescent
The shimmer mineral in highlighters and glowy creams; safe on skin, with sourcing ethics being its real controversy.
