Ingredients Analysis (20 found)

CETEARETH-20

✅2/10

Ceteareth-20 is a common ingredient in lotions and creams. For adults it is usually safe on normal, unbroken skin. A few people may get irritation or eye stinging. The bigger thing to know is that some batches can be contaminated with small amounts of harmful manufacturing byproducts (called ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane).

Confidence: HIGH

CITRIC ACID

✅2/10

Confidence: HIGH

PHENOXYETHANOL

✅2/10

For adults: This preservative is usually safe in skin products when used as directed. Most adults won’t have problems, but it can irritate sensitive skin.

Confidence: HIGH

SODIUM HYDROXIDE

✅2/10

No Known Risk - Regulatory and industry safety reviews find this oat kernel flour is not expected to be toxic and is considered safe for use on skin when used at normal concentrations.
