What’s inside

WaterGenerally safe

The base most products are built on. It carries the other ingredients and has no safety concern.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium Cocoyl IsethionateGenerally safe

A coconut-derived mild surfactant best known as the main cleansing agent in syndet ("soap-free") bars and gentle body washes. It has a good tolerability record and is often chosen specifically for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

Full ingredient details →
Glyceryl StearateGenerally safe

A common emulsifier and texture-softener made from glycerin and stearic acid. CIR review of this class found no evidence of reproductive, carcinogenic, sensitizing, or phototoxic effects in the studies examined.

Full ingredient details →
Shea ButterWatch if sensitive

A rich plant butter pressed from shea tree nuts, valued for softening and cushioning dry skin. It is generally well tolerated, though very rare allergic reactions have been reported and people with tree nut allergies who are cautious may want to patch test first.

Full ingredient details →
Glyceryl OleateGenerally safe

A plant-derived emollient and emulsifier made from glycerin and oleic acid, typically from olives or canola. Softens skin while stabilizing oil-water formulas; well tolerated at typical use levels.

Full ingredient details →
Hydroxypropyl Starch PhosphateGenerally safe

A modified starch derived from corn or potatoes, used to thicken and stabilize skincare formulas. It is inert, non-irritating, and has been used in cosmetics for decades without recorded safety concerns.

Full ingredient details →
Decyl GlucosideGenerally safe

Another sugar-and-fatty-alcohol derived non-ionic surfactant, structurally close to coco-glucoside but made from a shorter (decyl, C10) fatty chain. It is a gentle cleanser generally well tolerated, though a small number of contact-allergy case reports exist, mostly in people with pre-existing skin conditions.

Full ingredient details →
GlycerinGenerally safe

A humectant that draws water into the skin. One of the best-studied, best-tolerated ingredients in personal care.

Full ingredient details →
Holy Basil Leaf ExtractGenerally safe

An extract from holy basil (tulsi) leaves, used for antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It is graded safe at cosmetic concentrations and is generally well tolerated.

Full ingredient details →
Neem Flower ExtractGenerally safe

An extract from neem tree flowers, used for its antioxidant and conditioning properties. While neem has traditional use in skincare, rare cases of contact sensitization have been noted in literature; most people tolerate it without issue.

Full ingredient details →
Neem Leaf ExtractGenerally safe

An extract from neem tree leaves, valued for antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits in formulations. Well tolerated overall, though isolated cases of contact sensitivity have been reported in the literature.

Full ingredient details →
ChamomileWatch if sensitive

Chamomile extract is used for its soothing and mild antioxidant reputation and is generally well tolerated. It belongs to the Asteraceae (Compositae) plant family, so people with a known ragweed or daisy-family allergy occasionally react to it and may want to patch test first.

Full ingredient details →
CalendulaWatch if sensitive

Calendula extract is a traditional soothing botanical used in balms and after-sun formulas with a generally reassuring safety history. Like chamomile, it is part of the Asteraceae family, so cross-reactive contact allergy is possible for people already sensitive to ragweed or related plants.

Full ingredient details →
Geranium Flower OilWatch if sensitive

A fragrant oil extracted from geranium flowers, used for scent and antioxidant benefits. It is a named fragrance allergen in the EU and can cause allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals, particularly in leave-on formulations.

Full ingredient details →
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) OilWatch if sensitive

A cold-pressed oil from sweet orange peel with a bright, citrus scent, containing furanocoumarins that can cause phototoxic reactions (pigmentation and irritation) when exposed to sunlight. This oil is best reserved for rinse-off products or formulations where sun exposure is unlikely or protected, as it can trigger adverse reactions in reactive individuals on sun-exposed skin.

Full ingredient details →
Lemon Peel OilWatch if sensitive

A citrus essential oil with a fresh scent, extracted from lemon peel. It contains recognized fragrance allergen constituents (limonene, citral) and can trigger contact reactions in fragrance-sensitive individuals. Additionally, citrus peel oils carry documented phototoxicity risk, meaning skin treated with the product should avoid direct sunlight.

Full ingredient details →
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) OilWatch if sensitive

An essential oil rich in menthol and other terpenes. It adds a cooling, fresh note to products but is a known skin irritant and contact allergen, especially in leave-on products or for people with sensitive or inflamed skin. The oil oxidizes over time, increasing allergenicity.

Full ingredient details →
Sunflower OilGenerally safe

A linoleic-acid-rich plant oil used as an emollient and, in some small pediatric studies, associated with support of the skin barrier when applied to infant skin. It is well tolerated with a low reported rate of contact reactions.

Full ingredient details →
Lavandula Hybrida (Lavandin) OilWatch if sensitive

An essential oil from lavandin, a sterile hybrid of lavender species, with a floral and herbaceous scent. Most people tolerate it well, though contact allergy and sensitization have been documented in patch-test studies, particularly in individuals with existing fragrance sensitivity or in leave-on products.

Full ingredient details →
Jojoba EstersGenerally safe

A wax ester derived from jojoba oil that closely resembles the skin's own sebum esters, used to soften and smooth skin. Available safety data has not flagged meaningful irritation or sensitization risk at cosmetic use levels.

Full ingredient details →
Hydrolyzed Jojoba EstersGenerally safe

A plant-derived conditioning agent created by hydrolyzing jojoba esters, supporting skin softness and hydration. Jojoba-derived ingredients have a favorable safety profile, though long-term data on this specific form remains limited.

Full ingredient details →
Sclerotium GumGenerally safe

A polysaccharide produced by fermentation of fungal cultures, used to thicken and stabilize formulas. It is well tolerated in cosmetics and often chosen by natural-leaning brands. It functions similarly to other gelling agents but comes from a more controlled fermentation source.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium LevulinateGenerally safe

A preservative booster and antioxidant derived from natural sugars. Often used alongside other preservatives to enhance efficacy and extend shelf life.

Full ingredient details →
Glyceryl CaprylateGenerally safe

A plant-derived emollient and preservative formed from glycerin and caprylic acid (coconut) that helps retain moisture and supports formula stability through mild antimicrobial activity.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium Lauroyl LactylateGenerally safe

A mild surfactant and emulsifier made from lactic acid and lauric acid. The lactate component makes it less irritating than many other surfactants; generally well tolerated in both rinse-off and leave-on formulas.

Full ingredient details →
PropanediolGenerally safe

A corn-derived solvent and humectant that has largely replaced propylene glycol in "clean" formulas; CIR reviewed the alkane diol group and found use concentrations up to about 40 percent in leave-on products like deodorant sticks with no meaningful irritation signal.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium PhytateGenerally safe

Sodium phytate is a plant-derived chelating agent used to bind trace metals and stabilize formulas, often as a preservative booster alongside other preservatives. Available safety reviews have not identified meaningful irritation or sensitization concerns at typical use levels.

Full ingredient details →
EthylhexylglycerinGenerally safe

A glycerin derivative used as a skin conditioner and preservative booster, often paired with phenoxyethanol to allow lower total preservative levels. It has a low irritation and sensitization profile in safety reviews.

Full ingredient details →
Potassium SorbateGenerally safe

A widely used, gentle preservative also common in food. It is generally well tolerated, though it can occasionally cause mild, transient irritation in people with already-compromised or very reactive skin.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium BenzoateGenerally safe

The sodium salt of benzoic acid, used as a preservative in both foods and cosmetics. Decades of safety review support its use at typical cosmetic concentrations, with mild irritation the main reported issue in sensitive skin.

Full ingredient details →
