Flagged ingredients (6)

Ingredients with a documented concern, from official datasets and our reviewed database.

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.

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.

Acrylates Copolymer

film former · thickener

Severity 4/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Synthetic polymer counted as a microplastic under the EU restriction when in particle form.

A common film-forming polymer scrutinized under the EU's microplastics restriction; skin safety itself is well established.

Dimethicone

emollient · occlusive

Severity 3/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Not biodegradable; accumulates in the environment via wash-off.

The workhorse silicone — inert and non-sensitizing on skin (even FDA-approved as a skin protectant), with persistence in the environment as its main criticism.

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.

No concerns found (10)

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.

  • Acrylates /C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer· emulsion stabilising, film forming, visc…

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.

  • Camosine

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.
