Ingredients Analysis (16 found)

Fragrance

✅3/10

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

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

✅2/10

For adults (grown-ups, teens), chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita) flower extract used on the skin is generally safe and often used to calm or soothe skin.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews find only low or unclear concerns. A cosmetic safety panel says this chamomile extract is generally safe in products when used with limits, and the European chemicals agency notes only limited evidence of skin allergy. A few small human studies and a review reported unclear (equivocal) findings for nerve or pregnancy effects, but the data are not strong. No health concern here is rated above low.

Confidence: HIGH

Ethylhexylglycerin

✅2/10

For adults: usually safe in small amounts in creams, lotions and other skin products. Most adults have no problems, but some people can get skin reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

Petrolatum

✅2/10

For adults, this ingredient is usually safe on the skin when it is the purified white form. It works as a protective moisturizer.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

For adults: usually safe in finished skin products because it’s used in very small amounts and neutralized so the product isn’t harsh. The biggest risk is irritation or burns from concentrated forms or poorly formulated products.

Confidence: HIGH

Steareth-2

✅2/10

For adults (men and women, including teens), Steareth-2 is generally safe to use on skin in cosmetics. Most people won't have problems, but a few may get mild irritation around the skin or eyes. The biggest worry is small amounts of manufacturing impurities like ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane if the ingredient hasn’t been properly cleaned.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Steareth-21

✅2/10

For adults (grown-ups), Steareth-21 is usually low risk when used on normal skin in regular cosmetic products. It can sometimes irritate sensitive skin or eyes, but serious health concerns are considered unlikely at normal use levels.

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. Big safety reviews flag low health concerns for cancer or long-term effects, but they do note two things to watch for: irritation for sensitive people and the possibility of tiny amounts of manufacturing impurities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cetyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), cetyl alcohol is a common ingredient that helps creams and lotions feel smooth. Most adults can use products with it without problems. Overall risk is low when used in regular skin products.

Confidence: HIGH

Dimethicone

✅1/10

For adults, dimethicone in creams and lotions is generally low risk. It helps protect and smooth skin and rarely causes allergy or irritation for most people.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Glycerin

✅1/10

For adults: glycerin is a common, low‑risk ingredient used in creams and lotions to pull moisture into the skin. Most adults, including those with dry skin, tolerate it well.

Confidence: HIGH

Isopropyl Palmitate

✅1/10

For adults, isopropyl palmitate is generally safe when used on the skin. Most people can use it without problems, but if you have acne-prone or very sensitive skin it can sometimes make breakouts or irritation worse.

No Known Risk - Reviews and government assessments did not find health hazards above a low level for normal topical use. Safety panels note use limits and some data gaps, but regulators have called it low priority for human health, do not expect it to build up in the body or the environment, and allow limited food uses. Taken together, current evidence does not show any health risks above low for typical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Stearyl Alcohol

✅1/10

For adults: stearyl alcohol is usually safe when used on the skin. It helps products feel creamy and keeps skin soft. Most adults do not have serious health problems from it, but it can irritate skin, eyes, or breathing in some people.

Confidence: HIGH

Mineral oil

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups) mineral oil is usually safe to use on intact skin and is a common, effective moisturizer. Most people tolerate it well, but some studies and health reviews have raised concerns about possible allergic reactions and the build-up of some mineral oil components in body tissues.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Water

✅0/10

For adults, plain water used on the skin is very safe. It's the main ingredient in many creams and lotions. It is not expected to cause cancer, major allergic problems, or harm to reproduction according to government safety reviews.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) find plain water is not expected to be toxic, not bioaccumulative, and not an environmental toxin. Safety summaries list no concerns above a low level for organ harm, reproductive effects, or other long‑term risks for topical use, so no specific health risks are identified for use on skin.
