Coverage & match quality
7 ratings · 2 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.
fragrance materialCitronellol
- Citronellol: A rose-and-citrus fragrance component named separately on the label. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, Annex III entry 86: a fragrance substance whose presence must be indicated in the list of ingredients above 0,001% in leave-on and 0,01% in rinse-off products, because of established contact-allergy risk.
undeclared fragrance blendFragrance
- Fragrance: A blend the label does not itemize, so what is in it cannot be read from the ingredient list. EU Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 permits the collective term "parfum"; the SCCS Opinion on Fragrance Allergens (SCCS/1459/11) reviews the contact-allergy evidence for the substances it can contain.
barrier lipidLinoleic Acid
- Linoleic Acid: An essential fatty acid the skin barrier uses and cannot make for itself. Khnykin D, Miner JH, Jahnsen F, "Role of fatty acid transporters in epidermis", Dermatoendocrinol 2011;3(2):53-61, DOI 10.4161/derm.3.2.14816, open access: "The human body can produce all but two of the fatty acids it needs: linoleic acid (C18:2, n6) and alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3, n3)", and replacing linoleic acid with a non-essential fatty acid "will lead to barrier defects". Feingold and Elias, J Lipid Res 2024: linoleate "is required for the synthesis of a subgroup of acylceramides".
