Murad Skincare · Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50: Mattifying Oil + Pore Control
Three independent Greenlens lenses read the same 62 ingredients and land 97 points apart. That gap is not an error. Each lens asks a different question, and this page shows every answer, ingredient by ingredient, blended into nothing.
Our sources have reference data on 57 of 62 listed ingredients; 5 are uncharacterized in our data — a gap, not a clean bill. Our sources can only speak to ingredients they recognize — either flagged by an authority or known to be a common, well-characterized ingredient. An uncharacterized ingredient is a gap in our data, not a clean bill of health: a quiet safety scan over ingredients we can’t place is a weaker signal than one over ingredients we can.
Uncharacterized in our data: Avobenzone 3.0, Homosalate 7.0, Octisalate 5.0, Octocrylene 7.5, Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil.
Independent
The regulatory baseline. Follows EU cosmetic law: prohibited and restricted ingredients cost points, and allergen labelling is capped so it cannot tank a score on its own.
Flagged 11 of 62 ingredients: 1 prohibited, 2 restricted, 1 of concern, 6 regulated allergens.
Independent
The strict lens. Flags any ingredient with a listed hazard trait (SIN List, IARC, Prop 65), even when regulators still permit it.
Flagged 1 of 62 ingredients on hazard grounds: 1 mild sensitizer.
Independent
The lenient lens. Trusts dose and regulation: permitted ingredients kept within their legal caps are tolerated, and only genuinely prohibited substances take a big hit.
Flagged 3 of 62 ingredients: 1 prohibited, 2 restricted (within-limit). Score capped: a prohibited (banned) substance cannot be tolerated.
These lenses disagree. A split of 97 points crosses our disagreement threshold (20). We keep every verdict and never average them; the table below is where the split comes from.
