Perfume is commonly used in topical products for fragrance. It can cause minor skin irritation or allergies in sensitive adults but is generally safe.

Confidence: HIGH

propylene glycol

Confidence: HIGH

✅2/10

For adults (men and women), dipropylene glycol is usually safe in skin products when used as intended. It’s a common ingredient with low overall hazard in safety reviews.

Confidence: HIGH

Confidence: HIGH

carbomer

✅1/10

For adults: Carbomer is widely used in lotions, gels and creams and is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin.
