Ingredients Analysis (17 found)

Homosalate

⚠️5/10

Homosalate is a chemical sunscreen ingredient. For adults and teens, it is usually okay when used in products that follow local rules, but it gets into the body and some safety reviews have flagged possible hormone effects and contamination concerns.

Hormones - Lab studies and a 2021 safety opinion found signs that homosalate can affect hormone systems, including weak activity at androgen (male-hormone) receptors. This means it may interfere with normal hormone signals in children.

Confuse Hormones - Cell-based tests showed homosalate can act at hormone receptors and block normal signals. A scientific safety committee reported limited evidence of this hormone-like activity, so it can confuse hormone messaging in the body.

Fertility - A regulatory assessment of salicylate esters found animal studies showing developmental and reproductive effects at moderate doses. That suggests a possible risk to growth or future fertility with enough exposure.

Organ Risk - Environment Canada has classified homosalate as expected to be toxic or harmful to non-reproductive organs. That means repeated or higher exposures may hurt organs such as the liver or kidneys.

Absorbed - Clinical research showed sunscreen actives, including homosalate, can be measured in the blood after skin use. Other studies show it can help other chemicals penetrate the skin, so it is absorbed through the skin into the body.

Banned - Japan’s Ministry of Health restricts how homosalate may be used in cosmetics and sets concentration limits. Because of those limits, some regulated product programs also restrict its use.

Environmental - Environment Canada lists homosalate as suspected to be an environmental toxin. This raises concerns about harm to water life and the wider environment after release.

Long-Term Risk - Given the animal reproductive findings, organ-toxicity classification, and contamination concerns, repeated or long-term exposure could lead to health effects over time.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Octocrylene

✅3/10

For adults: Octocrylene is commonly used in sunscreens and is usually considered low risk when used as directed, but it is not risk‑free. Some people can get allergic skin reactions, and studies show it can be absorbed into the body and persist in the environment.

Confidence: HIGH

Triethanolamine

✅3/10

For adults: triethanolamine is usually safe in properly made skin products. Some people can get allergic skin reactions, and there is a manufacturing concern about contamination with nitrosamines if the product is not produced carefully.

Confidence: HIGH

Avobenzone

✅2/10

For adults (including teens), avobenzone is usually considered low risk when used in regular sunscreens the way the label says. There are some lab studies and safety reviews that note it can get into the skin and that small risks (like mild irritation or very weak hormone effects in lab tests) have been seen.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Butyloctyl Salicylate

✅2/10

For adults, this ingredient is usually low risk in normal cosmetic products. It helps products feel smoother. But there are some safety notes from scientific reviews about contamination and limits on how it should be used.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Disodium EDTA

✅2/10

For adults: Disodium EDTA is commonly used to keep cosmetic formulas stable and to help preservatives work. At the small amounts used in skin products it is generally low risk for adults, but it can irritate skin or eyes in some people.

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

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

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

✅1/10

For adults this ingredient is usually safe in skincare and makeup. It’s used to absorb oil and improve texture, and most health concerns are low.

Confidence: MEDIUM

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

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

✅1/10

For adults, this ingredient is generally safe in lotions and creams. Most safety reviews find little or no risk for cancer, long-term health effects, or reproductive problems. A small chance of skin or eye irritation has been reported.

No Known Risk - Available ingredient safety records show only low-level concerns. Checks list low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, and irritation is noted as low or unassessed by a cosmetic ingredient safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are no bans, no higher-level health flags, and no evidence of buildup or long-term harm for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbitol

✅1/10

Sorbitol is generally safe for adults to use on skin. It helps skin hold moisture and has a low chance of causing cancer or long-term harm, based on health reviews.

No Known Risk - Sorbitol is generally considered safe for topical use. U.S. food regulators have cleared it for limited use in foods, and Environment Canada has said it is not expected to be toxic, not persistent, and not likely to build up in the body or harm the environment. Industry safety reviewers note only routine limits on concentration or impurities. Taken together, these assessments show no clear health risks for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Stearic Acid

✅1/10

For adults (men and women), stearic acid in creams and lotions is generally safe. It helps products feel smooth and usually does not irritate skin or cause allergic reactions.

Confidence: HIGH

VP/Eicosene Copolymer

✅1/10

For adults: this ingredient is generally safe to use on the skin. Reviews by government and industry experts find very low health concern and do not expect it to build up in the body.

No Known Risk - Government review found this polymer is not expected to be toxic, not likely to build up in the body, and not an environmental toxin. An independent industry safety panel only notes recommendations for how it should be used (limits on concentration or product types) but did not identify health hazards. Based on these reviews, no real health risks have been found for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Sorbitan Isostearate

✅0/10

For adults (including teens and older people), this ingredient is generally safe in creams and lotions. It’s used to help oil and water mix and has a very low record of causing harm at the levels normally used in skin products.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews by a cosmetic ingredient safety panel and government reviewers found no clear health hazards for normal skin use. These reviews reported only minor data gaps and noted that some judgments relied on related chemicals and reported use levels, but they did not identify any risks that rise above a low level.

Confidence: HIGH

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.
