Flagged ingredients (16)

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

Severity 7/10
Sensitive skin: High cautionPregnancy: Best avoidedBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: High caution
  • Hormone disruption:Classified as toxic to reproduction (CMR 1B); banned in the EU since March 2022.
  • Allergy risk:Well-documented fragrance sensitizer.

The lily-of-the-valley scent 'Lilial', banned in EU cosmetics in 2022 after being classified as presumed toxic to human reproduction. Still legal in some other markets — check older or imported products.

Parfum

fragrance

Severity 7/10Editorial
Sensitive skin: Best avoidedPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Allergy risk:Fragrance is the single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy.
  • Irritation:Frequent trigger of stinging and redness on reactive skin.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

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.

Linalool

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: High caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen; oxidized linalool is a common patch-test positive.

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.

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.

Coumarin

fragrance

Severity 5/10
Sensitive skin: Use with cautionEczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Allergy risk:EU-declarable allergen found in tonka bean and many perfumes.

A sweet hay-scented molecule requiring EU allergen declaration; a regular positive in fragrance patch-test series.

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.

Paraffinum Liquidum

occlusive · emollient

Severity 2/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Use with caution
  • Pore-clogging:Cosmetic grade is minimally comedogenic despite its reputation.

Highly refined mineral oil is an inert, non-sensitizing emollient. Its bad reputation comes from industrial-grade oils that are never permitted in cosmetics.

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.

No concerns found (12)

Ingredients that are unflagged in our reviewed database, reviewed safe by the CIR panel, or on an EU permitted list.

Recognized ingredients (3)

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.

  • Helianthus Annuus Hybrid Oil· skin conditioning - emollient
  • Cera Microcristallina· binding, emulsion stabilising, opacifyin…
  • Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate· antioxidant

Not enough data (2)

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.

  • CyclopentasiIoxane
  • Alpha-lsomethyl Ionone

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.
