Why it’s rated Avoid

A product’s rating follows its most concerning indexed ingredient. Each ingredient links to its science card and the research behind it. How ratings work

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) Ethoxylated Surfactant / 1,4-Dioxane Contamination
  Avoid
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine Amphoteric Coconut-derived Surfactant / Impurity Irritant
  Use Caution
• Ethoxylated Emulsifiers (Polysorbates, PEGs) Ethoxylation can leave 1,4-dioxane traces.
  Use Caution
• Titanium Dioxide (Food Grade) Nanoparticle Whitening Agent / DNA Damage & Organ Accumulation
  Use Caution
• Sodium Benzoate Synthetic Preservative / Benzene Risk with Vitamin C
  Use Caution
• Cosmetic Preservatives (Mild) Milder preservatives; limit rather than avoid.
