Potassium Hydroxide

⚠️5/10

For adults: this ingredient can be irritating or even cause burns if concentrated. In most skin products it’s used in tiny amounts to balance acidity and is considered a moderate risk when properly formulated.

Banned - This ingredient is restricted for use in cosmetics under the EU Cosmetics Directive and industry safety reviewers (CIR) say it may only be used with limits or special formulation controls. Regulatory listings and product-verification rules mean some products are not allowed to contain it without strong safety proof.

Organ Risk - European hazard labeling (EU GHS) and Environment Canada classify this chemical as toxic or harmful to organs and list it as a medium human-health priority. That means it can damage non-reproductive organs with unsafe exposures.

Long-Term Risk - Environment Canada’s assessment and EU hazard classifications indicate concerns that repeated or long-term exposures could lead to lasting health effects. Workplace rules also limit allowable exposure, showing regulators see risk over time.
