Flagged ingredients (9)

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

Phenoxyethanol

preservative

Severity 3/10
Babies & kids: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Occasional stinging and irritation, mostly around eyes and on damaged skin.

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.

Lactic Acid

exfoliant · humectant

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Milder than glycolic; still increases photosensitivity.

A gentler AHA that exfoliates and hydrates simultaneously; the usual pick for drier or more reactive skin starting acids.

Triethanolamine

ph adjuster · emulsifier

Severity 3/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Irritating at higher concentrations or in leave-on products.
  • Allergy risk:Occasional contact allergen.

A pH adjuster that is safe in itself but should not be combined with formaldehyde releasers or bronopol, which can convert it to nitrosamines.

Propylparaben

preservative

Pregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Use with caution

A longer-chain paraben with measurable (though weak) estrogenic activity, prompting the EU to reduce its allowed concentration and Denmark to ban it in products for children under 3.

Urea

humectant · keratolytic

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Irritation:Above ~10% it becomes keratolytic and can sting on broken skin.

A natural moisturizing factor: hydrating below 10%, callus-softening above. Valuable in eczema care despite stinging on open skin.

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.

Petrolatum

occlusive · skin protectant

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Cancer concern:Concern applies only to unrefined grades containing PAHs; cosmetic grade is highly refined (EU-mandated).

The most effective occlusive known and a staple of eczema care. The cancer concern belongs to unrefined industrial grades — pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum in cosmetics is rigorously purified.
