How much genuine, cited concern the ingredients carry, weighted by how much of each is likely present and whether the product stays on or rinses off.

Whether the full ingredient list, and any fragrance, are actually disclosed.

Formulation restraint19 / 25
  • 2 known irritant or fragrance-allergen ingredients: Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Fragrance.

Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.

What’s inside

WaterGenerally safe

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

Cocamidopropyl BetaineWatch if sensitive

A coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant used to boost foam and mildness in cleansers and shampoos. CIR has reviewed it as safe as used, but it is one of the more established contact-allergy triggers in personal care, usually traced to manufacturing impurities such as amidoamine and dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) rather than the betaine itself. People with a history of eyelid or scalp dermatitis are more likely to react.

Full ingredient details →
Aloe VeraGenerally safe

Full ingredient details →
