Flagged ingredients (14)

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.

Parfum

fragrance

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.

Octocrylene

uv filter

Severity 5/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:Rising cause of contact and photoallergy, especially in children.
  • Environmental impact:Accumulates in aquatic life; degrades into benzophenone over time.

A stabilizing UV filter that can degrade into benzophenone as products age, and an increasingly reported allergen — replace old tubes of octocrylene sunscreens.

Eugenol

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; clove-scented sensitizer.
EU CosIng Annex III (declarable / restricted) ↗

The clove scent molecule, a long-established contact allergen on the EU declaration list.

Severity 4/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:Degradation products can cause photoallergy when unstabilized.

The main UVA filter in US sunscreens. Safe when properly stabilized, but it breaks down in sunlight into potentially sensitizing fragments in poorly formulated products.

Ethylhexylglycerin

preservative booster · skin conditioning

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Documented occasional contact allergy and eye irritation.
EU CLP Eye Dam. 1 ↗

A preservative booster often paired with phenoxyethanol; low-risk overall with rare reports of contact allergy.

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 (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 (19)

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.
