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 →GlycerinGenerally safe
A humectant that draws water into the skin. One of the best-studied, best-tolerated ingredients in personal care.
Full ingredient details →Distearyldimonium ChlorideGenerally safe
A long-chain quaternary ammonium compound used in small amounts in lotions to stabilize the emulsion and improve slip. Cationic conditioning agents in this family have a long cosmetic-use history without a notable irritation signal in the published record, though as with any ingredient it can rarely trigger sensitivity in already-irritated skin.
Full ingredient details →PetrolatumCommonly feared, low concern
A time-tested occlusive that seals in moisture and helps damaged skin heal, widely used in dermatology for wound care. Cosmetic-grade petrolatum must meet purity standards that remove the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in crude sources, and it is considered one of the most effective and well-studied barrier ingredients available.
Full ingredient details →Isopropyl PalmitateWatch if sensitive
A palm/coconut-derived fatty ester used to soften skin and help dissolve oil-soluble UV filters. It sits fairly high on lab comedogenicity scales, so some acne-prone users report clogged pores, though this does not translate into a broader safety concern for general use.
Full ingredient details →Cetyl AlcoholCommonly feared, low concern
A fatty alcohol used to soften skin and stabilize creams. Despite the name, it does not dry the skin.
Full ingredient details →Below the 1% line
Benzyl AlcoholWatch if sensitive
A common preservative and fragrance/solvent ingredient found naturally in many essential oils. It is well tolerated by most people at the levels used in cosmetics, but it is one of the 26 EU-designated fragrance allergens and can trigger reactions in people with an existing sensitivity.
Full ingredient details →AllantoinGenerally safe
A soothing, skin-conditioning compound (also found in comfrey root) commonly added to calm and hydrate irritated or sensitive skin. It has a long history of safe use with very low irritation potential.
Full ingredient details →Sodium ChlorideCommonly feared, low concern
Ordinary salt, used in surfactant-based products like shampoos and body washes to adjust viscosity by interacting with the surfactant micelles. It has no meaningful toxicity concern at cosmetic use levels; the main practical downside is that too much can make a formula feel less mild.
Full ingredient details →DimethiconeCommonly feared, low concern
A silicone that gives a smooth, soft feel and helps hold water in the skin. Inert and well studied.
