Full ingredient details →Butylene GlycolCommonly feared, low concern
A lightweight humectant and solvent similar in role to propylene glycol, used to carry actives and give lotions a lighter feel. CIR has reviewed it and considers it safe as used in cosmetics.
Full ingredient details →NiacinamideGenerally safe
A form of vitamin B3 used to support a more even-looking tone and a comfortable barrier. Well tolerated at cosmetic levels.
Full ingredient details →Salicylic AcidGenerally safe
A beta hydroxy acid used to smooth texture and clear pores. Safe at cosmetic levels; can be mildly irritating if overused.
Full ingredient details →Centella AsiaticaGenerally safe
A plant extract long used in traditional wound care and now common in "cica" soothing products, valued for calming redness and supporting the skin barrier. It is generally well tolerated, with rare contact allergy reported.
Full ingredient details →Tea Tree OilWatch if sensitive
Tea tree oil is used for its antimicrobial reputation in blemish-focused products, but it is a genuine, well-documented contact sensitizer, and its allergy potential rises sharply once the oil has oxidized from air exposure. Fresh, well-preserved, low-concentration formulations are much lower risk than old or improperly stored oil.
Full ingredient details →Salix Alba (Willow) Bark ExtractGenerally safe
A natural source of salicylates, traditionally used for gentle chemical exfoliation and inflammation support. It delivers BHA-like activity through natural compounds and is generally well tolerated. People with salicylate sensitivity should exercise caution, and it may cause mild irritation in very sensitive skin.
