A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.
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 (7)
Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.
Not enough data (3)
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.
- magnesium chloride (mineral viscosity modifier)
- tetrasodium iminodisuccinate (synthetic chelating agent)
- coco-glucoside and glyceryl oleate (plant-based skin conditioner)
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.
