Three independent Greenlens lenses read the same 17 ingredients and land 0 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 16 of 17 listed ingredients; 1 is 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: Zinc Oxide 23.
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.
No EU-regulated hazards recognized among 17 ingredients.
Independent
The strict lens. Flags any ingredient with a listed hazard trait (SIN List, IARC, Prop 65), even when regulators still permit it.
No listed hazard traits recognized among 17 ingredients.
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.
No prohibited or high-risk ingredients among 17; permitted ingredients tolerated.
None of the 17 ingredients matched any lens's reference lists. That means no recognized flag, not proven safety.
