Driven by Cocos Nucifera Oil (Caredermis editorial assessment)
Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.
emollient
A beloved natural moisturizer for body and hair that is nonetheless one of the most pore-clogging oils on facial skin.
preservative
A preservative behind one of the largest contact-allergy epidemics in cosmetic history. The EU banned it from leave-on products and restricts it in rinse-off products to 15 ppm.
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.
surfactant
A common 'sulfate-free' marketing substitute that cleans — and can strip — just as aggressively as the sulfates it replaces.
surfactant
A mild coconut-derived surfactant in countless 'gentle' cleansers. Most allergy is caused by manufacturing impurities, so quality varies by brand.
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.
fragrance
A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.
chelating agent
A metal-binding stabilizer that is safe on skin at the tiny amounts used; its criticism is environmental persistence.
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.
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.
