Why this score
Concern38 / 55
- Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil: watch if sensitive
- 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 restraint13 / 25
- 2 known irritant or fragrance-allergen ingredients: Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Fragrance.
Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.

What’s inside
Sunflower OilGenerally safe
A linoleic-acid-rich plant oil used as an emollient and, in some small pediatric studies, associated with support of the skin barrier when applied to infant skin. It is well tolerated with a low reported rate of contact reactions.
Full ingredient details →Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel OilWatch if sensitive
An essential oil from grapefruit peel rich in limonene and other furocoumarins. It is a fragrance allergen that carries phototoxicity risk, particularly in sun-exposed areas; some formulations concentrate enough to cause phototoxic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Full ingredient details →Vitamin EGenerally safe
An antioxidant that helps protect a formula and condition skin. Well tolerated.
Full ingredient details →Rice Bran OilGenerally safe
A lightweight plant oil extracted from rice bran, containing oryzanol and other antioxidants. Well tolerated as an emollient, though may show mild comedogenic potential in thicker formulations or on oily-prone skin.
Full ingredient details →Babassu Seed OilGenerally safe
A plant oil from the Babassu palm kernel, similar in fatty acid profile to coconut oil. It is well tolerated as a skin emollient at standard cosmetic concentrations, with no documented safety concerns in published literature.
Full ingredient details →Sesame Seed OilGenerally safe
A plant-derived emollient high in linoleic acid, used to support the skin barrier. Generally well tolerated, though some formulators note mild comedogenic potential in heavier occluded applications.
Full ingredient details →Rice ExtractLimited concern
A water or bran extract of rice containing ferulic acid, small peptides and starches. It is a traditional East Asian skincare staple with some supporting antioxidant and mild-brightening data, but most of that evidence comes from cell or animal studies rather than large human trials, so the "brightening" claims on finished products go further than the direct evidence.
Full ingredient details →Rosemary Leaf ExtractWatch if sensitive
An aromatic plant extract rich in natural antioxidants, valued in skincare formulations for its protective properties. Published cosmetic assessments indicate it is generally well tolerated, though the botanical origin means some sensitive individuals may react.
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.
