L'Oréal · Ultra Soft Grapefruit and Green Tea Shampoo
Three independent Greenlens lenses read the same 26 ingredients and land 42 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 22 of 26 listed ingredients; 4 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: GRAPEFRUIT FRUIT EXTRACT, F.I.L, C38967, 1.
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 7 of 26 ingredients: 3 restricted, 2 of concern, 2 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 26 ingredients on hazard grounds: 1 strong sensitizer. Score capped: a strong sensitizer is present.
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 26 ingredients: 3 restricted (within-limit).
These lenses disagree. A split of 42 points crosses our disagreement threshold (20). We keep every verdict and never average them; the table below is where the split comes from.
