Coverage & match quality
4 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 we know about the packaging
Unidentified0 of 1 identified
Nobody recorded what this pack is actually made of beyond “plastic”, so the packaging score is a stand-in for the middle of that range — not a reading of this container.
- Recorded only as “plastic” — no resin code. It could be PET (#1) (widely recyclable) or PVC (#3) (hard to recycle); nothing on record says which, so it counts as 46 out of 100, the middle of that range.
This says how precisely the packaging is described, not how good it is — a fully identified material can still be a bad one.
How we know the packaging
Nobody published the material for this product, so it was read from the product photo — the container looks like this, rather than the maker saying so. Treat the packaging score as weaker here than on a product with a declared material.
A photo also cannot show the resin code moulded into the base, so every plastic container reads as “plastic, unspecified” — the cautious end of the plastics range, not a finding about this particular pack.

Data availability
Not enough to score12 of 44 characterized
Our sources have reference data on 12 of 44 listed ingredients; 32 are uncharacterized in our data — a gap, not a clean bill. That is not enough of the label for a safety score to be honest, so we do not publish one.

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.
comedogenic in testingmyristyl myristate
- myristyl myristate: A waxy emollient named among the pore-clogging materials in the rabbit-ear assay. Fulton JE Jr, Pay SR, Fulton JE 3rd, "Comedogenicity of current therapeutic products, cosmetics, and ingredients in the rabbit ear", J Am Acad Dermatol 1984;10(1):96-105, PMID 6229554. The openly readable abstract names this ingredient among its "ingredient offenders", in prose and without a numeric rating: "Ingredient offenders include isopropyl myristate and its analogs, such as isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl isostearate, butyl stearate, isostearyl neopentanoate, myristyl myristate..." The rabbit-ear assay rates raw ingredients and does not predict how a finished formula behaves on human skin.
common irritantlanolin
- lanolin: A rich wool-derived emollient that is also a long-standing patch-test allergen. American Contact Dermatitis Society, Allergen of the Year 2023: "Lanolin: The 2023 American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year", Cutis 2023;112(2):78-81, DOI 10.12788/cutis.0825, PMID 37820332; FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(k), lists lanolin as a skin protectant at 12,5 to 50%.

- lanolin: A rich wool-derived emollient that is also a long-standing patch-test allergen. American Contact Dermatitis Society, Allergen of the Year 2023: "Lanolin: The 2023 American Contact Dermatitis Society Allergen of the Year", Cutis 2023;112(2):78-81, DOI 10.12788/cutis.0825, PMID 37820332; FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(k), lists lanolin as a skin protectant at 12,5 to 50%.
- petrolatum: A barrier that sits on the surface of the skin, which is also why it feels heavy. FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(m) and (r), lists petrolatum and white petrolatum as skin protectants at 30 to 100%.
