Every compound we’ve reviewed, rated Clean, Use Caution or Avoid — with the research behind each call. Search by any name you see on a label, including INCI and French names.

Avoid

Sunflower Oil

Industrially refined seed oil (same rule as canola/soybean).

Use Caution

Synthetic Fragrance / Parfum

Undisclosed scent blend. A practical allowance: on its own it rates Caution (limit use), not Avoid — products with other flagged ingredients are still rated by those.

Avoid

Triclosan

Antibacterial Agent / Thyroid Hormone & Antibiotic Resistance

Clean

Vinegar

Fermented acetic acid; traditional preservative.

Clean

Water

Plain water — no concern.

Clean

Yeast

Whole yeast (not to be confused with yeast extract, a hidden-MSG source).
