Coverage & match quality
9 ratings · 3 of 4 axes
- Some ratings rest on an automatic match that has not been human-reviewed.
- Fewer raters reach smaller-brand products, so a missing rating is not a clean bill of health, only a gap.

What these ingredient tags mean (3)
These describe what an ingredient is, not whether it is a problem. The stance marks above are the ratings; these are not.
commonly dryingISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
- ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL: A fast-evaporating solvent with a drying finish, common in toners and hand products. International Chemical Safety Card ICSC 0554, Isopropyl alcohol, prepared by an international group of experts for the ILO and WHO: "Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dryness and cracking." It describes a stronger exposure than a cosmetic formula.
common irritantCOLOPHONIUM / ROSIN
- COLOPHONIUM / ROSIN: A pine-derived resin used in waxes and balms; chemicals law classes it as a skin sensitiser, and cosmetics law does not restrict it. Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP), Annex VI Part 3 Table 3, index number 650-015-00-7, "rosin; colophony": Skin Sens. 1, H317, "may cause an allergic skin reaction". It appears in no annex of EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, so cosmetics law places no restriction on it.
rich occlusiveDIMETHICONE
- DIMETHICONE: A silicone that forms a film on the surface of the skin without an oily feel. FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(g), lists dimethicone as a skin protectant at 1 to 30%.
