Score, factor by factor
Concern26 / 5555 / 55

Transparency12 / 2020 / 20
Whether the full ingredient list, and any fragrance, are actually disclosed. An undisclosed "fragrance/parfum" blend hides its allergens and costs points.
Formulation restraint2 / 2525 / 25
Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.
PlainScore40 / 100100 / 100
The three factors summed: concern out of 55, transparency out of 20, formulation restraint out of 25. Higher is lower concern.
Left column: Ahava Mineral Body Lotion. Right: Vaseline Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion. The bold number wins the factor.
