Some concern

Why this score

Concern33 / 55
  • Methylchloroisothiazolinone: restricted
  • Methylisothiazolinone: restricted
  • 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 restraint15 / 25
  • 3 known irritant or fragrance-allergen ingredients: Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance.

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

Full ingredient details →
Sodium BenzoateGenerally safe

Full ingredient details →
MethylchloroisothiazolinoneRestricted

Methylchloroisothiazolinone is typically used together with methylisothiazolinone in a 3:1 mix and is a well-documented skin sensitizer at higher rates than most preservatives. EU rules now restrict this combination to rinse-off products only, at a low maximum concentration.

MethylisothiazolinoneRestricted

A preservative that caused a wave of contact allergy in the 2010s. The EU banned it from leave-on products and tightly limits it in rinse-off ones. A genuine concern, not a myth.

Full ingredient details →
Titanium DioxideCommonly feared, low concern

A mineral UV filter and white pigment used in sunscreens and makeup. It sits on the skin surface rather than being absorbed, and major regulators consider it safe for topical cosmetic use.

Full ingredient details →
FragranceWatch if sensitive

An undisclosed scent blend that can contain dozens of components. The single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy, and the blend is not itemized, so you cannot see what is in it.

Full ingredient details →

Note: this product hides its scent as an undisclosed “fragrance/parfum” blend, so its specific allergens are not on the label.
