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

• Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) & Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) Strong contact allergen; EU-restricted.
  Avoid
• Cosmetic Preservatives (Mild) Milder preservatives; limit rather than avoid.
  Use Caution
• Phenoxyethanol Synthetic Preservative / Mild Irritant in Concentration > 1%
  Use Caution
• EDTA (Disodium / Tetrasodium) Penetration enhancer; poorly biodegradable.
  Use Caution
• Dimethicone & Silicones Occlusive; some cyclic silicones are restricted in the EU for environmental persistence.
  Use Caution
• Citric Acid (Manufactured / Mold-Derived) Fermentation Byproduct / Mold & Inflammatory Response
  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.
  Use Caution
• Fatty Alcohols (Cetyl, Cetearyl, Stearyl) Non-drying “fatty” alcohols, usually plant-derived.
  Clean
• Salt Everyday seasoning; no toxic-burden concern at normal use (sodium intake is a nutrition question, not a toxin).
  Clean
• Plant Oils & Butters (Cosmetic) Common plant oils, butters and waxes.
  Clean
• Glycerin Skin-identical humectant.
  Clean
