Some concern

Why this score

Concern47 / 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 restraint19 / 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.

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 →
Propylene GlycolCommonly feared, low concern

A small humectant and solvent molecule that helps other ingredients dissolve and helps skin hold water. It is one of the most studied cosmetic ingredients and is considered safe at the concentrations used in personal care products.

Full ingredient details →
PPG-26-Buteth-26Generally safe

A polypropylene glycol-based surfactant and emulsifier used to stabilize cosmetic formulas. Safety assessments indicate it is well-tolerated when used at typical cosmetic concentrations.

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 →
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor OilGenerally safe

A polyethylene glycol ester of hydrogenated castor oil, widely used as an emulsifier and solvent in rinse-off and leave-on cosmetics. PEG-modified ingredients are graded as safe in cosmetics by the CIR when formulated at typical use levels.

Full ingredient details →
Zinc GluconateGenerally safe

A readily bioavailable form of zinc used in skincare formulations for its mineral content and regulatory support. It is well tolerated and commonly used in cosmetics without sensitization or irritation concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Full ingredient details →
Citric AcidGenerally safe

Used in tiny amounts to set a product to skin-friendly pH. No concern at those levels.

Full ingredient details →
PhenoxyethanolCommonly feared, low concern

A widely used preservative, safe at the legal limit of 1% or less. Often the "paraben-free" replacement.

Full ingredient details →
Caprylyl GlycolGenerally safe

Caprylyl glycol is a plant-derived humectant that also has mild antimicrobial properties, so it is commonly paired with other preservatives to allow lower overall preservative levels. Available data do not point to meaningful irritation or sensitization concerns at typical use levels.

Full ingredient details →
PanthenolGenerally safe

A soothing humectant that helps skin and hair look conditioned. Very well tolerated.

Full ingredient details →
Sodium ChlorideCommonly feared, low concern

Ordinary salt, used in surfactant-based products like shampoos and body washes to adjust viscosity by interacting with the surfactant micelles. It has no meaningful toxicity concern at cosmetic use levels; the main practical downside is that too much can make a formula feel less mild.

Full ingredient details →

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