What’s inside
Cellulose GumGenerally safe

Full ingredient details →Tea Tree OilWatch if sensitive
Tea tree oil is used for its antimicrobial reputation in blemish-focused products, but it is a genuine, well-documented contact sensitizer, and its allergy potential rises sharply once the oil has oxidized from air exposure. Fresh, well-preserved, low-concentration formulations are much lower risk than old or improperly stored oil.
Full ingredient details →Calendula Flower ExtractWatch if sensitive
A traditional flower extract with documented antioxidant activity, long used in skincare preparations. Cosmetic safety assessments support its use in formulations, though as with many plant extracts it may trigger sensitivities in some individuals.
Full ingredient details →Rosehip Fruit OilWatch if sensitive
A lightweight botanical oil pressed from rosehip seeds, used to nourish and condition the skin. It is generally well tolerated, though as a botanical extract it may rarely trigger sensitivity in individuals prone to plant allergies.
