Why this score
Concern52 / 55
- Fragrance: watch if sensitive
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.
Transparency12 / 20
- Uses an undisclosed "fragrance/parfum" blend, so its scent allergens are hidden.
Whether the full ingredient list, and any fragrance, are actually disclosed.
Formulation restraint23 / 25
- 1 known irritant or fragrance-allergen ingredient: Fragrance.
Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.
