Why this score
Three independent Greenlens lenses read the same 22 ingredients and land 14 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.
How well-studied are these ingredients?
Data coverage · Robust
22/22
Our sources have reference data on all 22 listed ingredients. 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.

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 12 of 22 ingredients: 1 prohibited, 1 restricted, 1 of concern, 8 regulated allergens.
Greenlens Precautionary Screen
Independent
25Horrible
The strict lens. Flags any ingredient with a listed hazard trait (SIN List, IARC, Prop 65), even when regulators still permit it.
Flagged 3 of 22 ingredients on hazard grounds: 1 carcinogen-linked, 1 endocrine-active, 1 strong sensitizer. Score capped: a carcinogen-linked ingredient is present.
Greenlens Tolerance Screen
Independent
25Horrible
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 2 of 22 ingredients: 1 prohibited, 1 restricted (within-limit). Score capped: a prohibited (banned) substance cannot be tolerated.
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.
The overall ring on the product page is the weighted mean of the four pillars using your weights, computed fresh on every visit and never stored. How each lens's reference lists were built, penalty by penalty, is on the methodology page.
