Flagged ingredients (13)

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

DMDM Hydantoin

preservative

Severity 7/10
Sensitive skin: High cautionPregnancy: Use with cautionBabies & kids: Best avoidedEczema-prone: Best avoided
  • Cancer concern:Slowly releases formaldehyde, an IARC Group 1 carcinogen.
  • Allergy risk:Frequent cause of preservative contact dermatitis.

A formaldehyde-releasing preservative used in creams, shampoos and wipes. The slow formaldehyde release preserves the product but exposes skin to a known carcinogen and allergen.

Severity 5/10Editorial
Oily & acne-prone: Best avoided
  • Pore-clogging:One of the most consistently comedogenic emollients in rabbit-ear and human assays.

A silky-feel emollient that repeatedly tops comedogenicity rankings — acne-prone users should watch for it in face 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.

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.

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.

Ceteareth-20

emulsifier

Severity 2/10Editorial
Eczema-prone: Use with caution
  • Irritation:Can enhance penetration of other ingredients; avoid on broken skin.

A common emulsifier; CIR advises against use on damaged skin because it can carry other ingredients deeper.

Cyclopentasiloxane

emollient · solvent

Severity 6/10Editorial
  • Environmental impact:Classified vPvB (very persistent, very bioaccumulative); EU restricts it in cosmetics from 2027.
Caredermis curated dermatological review

A volatile silicone giving that silky slip, now being phased down in the EU because it persists and accumulates in aquatic ecosystems.

Potassium Sorbate

preservative

Severity 2/10
  • Irritation:Occasional transient stinging or redness on sensitive skin.

A mild food-grade preservative usually paired with sodium benzoate; well tolerated by most skin types.

Sodium Benzoate

preservative

Severity 2/10Editorial
  • Irritation:Can cause transient, non-allergic flushing/stinging on reactive skin.

A food-grade preservative generally regarded as one of the gentler options; occasional non-immune stinging is its main drawback.

Pore-clogging potential (5)

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 (18)

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.

  • Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil· perfuming, skin conditioning
  • Caprae Lac Extract· not reported
  • Aloe Barbadensis Extract· skin conditioning

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.

  • 2-Hexanediol

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.
