What’s inside
WaterGenerally safe
The base most products are built on. It carries the other ingredients and has no safety concern.
Full ingredient details →Sodium LauroamphoacetateGenerally safe
A mild amphoteric surfactant used to build foam and soften the feel of harsher cleansing agents in the same formula. It has a long history of safe use in rinse-off cleansers at typical concentrations.
Full ingredient details →Coco-GlucosideGenerally safe
A mild non-ionic cleansing agent made from coconut fatty alcohols and plant sugars (glucose). It is widely used in sulfate-free shampoos and gentle cleansers and is one of the least irritating surfactants in common use.
Full ingredient details →LinaloolWatch if sensitive
A floral fragrance component and one of the EU-labelled fragrance allergens. Usually fine, worth watching if you react to scented products.
Full ingredient details →LimoneneWatch if sensitive
A citrus-scented fragrance component. Fine for most, but it oxidizes over time into a known contact allergen, so it must be labelled in the EU.
Full ingredient details →Below the 1% line
GeraniolWatch if sensitive
A floral, rose-like fragrance compound found in many essential oils. It is one of the 26 EU-designated fragrance allergens, meaning a documented minority of people can develop contact sensitization, so brands must disclose it above set thresholds.
Full ingredient details →MethylparabenCommonly feared, low concern
A preservative that keeps products free of mold and bacteria. Reviewed repeatedly and considered safe at the low levels used.
Full ingredient details →PropylparabenCommonly feared, low concern
A member of the paraben family used to prevent microbial growth in cosmetics. Like methylparaben, it has been reviewed extensively and found safe at the concentrations used in leave-on and rinse-off products.
Full ingredient details →Imidazolidinyl UreaWatch if sensitive
A formaldehyde-releasing preservative used to extend shelf life. It is one of the more frequently reported contact-allergy triggers among preservatives, so people with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, or a known formaldehyde allergy, may want to patch test or avoid it.
