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

  • Triethanolamine (TEA) Emulsifier & pH Adjuster / Nitrosamine Contamination
    Avoid
  • Methylparaben Synthetic Preservative / Estrogen Mimic
    Avoid
  • Propylparaben Synthetic Preservative / Reproductive & Endocrine Toxicant
    Avoid
  • Propylene Glycol Penetration enhancer; can irritate sensitive skin.
    Use Caution
  • Fragrance Allergens EU-listed fragrance allergens — sensitisers for some people.
    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
  • Carbomer Synthetic polymer; contributes to microplastic load.
    Use Caution
  • Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow FCF) Petroleum Synthetic Dye / Adrenal & Behavior Stress
    Use Caution
  • Yellow 5 (Tartrazine) Petroleum Synthetic Dye / Zinc Depletion & Allergy
    Use Caution

  • Water Plain water — no concern.
