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.
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.
emollient
A close relative of isopropyl myristate with a similar pore-clogging reputation for acne-prone skin.
fragrance · solvent
The citrus-peel scent molecule. Like linalool, it becomes allergenic mainly after oxidizing in opened products.
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.
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.
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 · uv absorber
A floral fixative on the EU allergen list, with early-stage evidence of weak hormonal activity being evaluated by regulators.
ph adjuster · emulsifier
A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.
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.
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.
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.
