  • Hormone disruption:Classified as toxic to reproduction (CMR 1B); banned in the EU since March 2022.

EU CLP Repr. 1B ↗EU CosIng Annex II (prohibited in cosmetics) ↗

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.

Parfum

Severity 7/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
  • Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

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.

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.
EU CLP Skin Sens. 1B ↗EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

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.

Severity 4/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionDry skin: High cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Irritation:Drying and defatting to the skin barrier.
EU CLP Eye Irrit. 2 ↗

Rubbing alcohol; used as a solvent in some products and drying to skin in meaningful concentrations.

Phenoxyethanol

preservative

Severity 3/10
Babies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Occasional stinging and irritation, mostly around eyes and on damaged skin.
EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

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.

Coumarin

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen found in tonka bean and many perfumes.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.

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.

FUMARIC ACIDRegulatory dataIrritationEU CLP Eye Irrit. 2

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 (16)

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

Recognized ingredients (2)

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.

  • TRIDECETH-6· surfactant - cleansing, surfactant - emu…
  • ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE POWDER· skin conditioning

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.

  • ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS LEAF EXTRACT/ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT

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.
