Ingredients to watch
Fragrance
moderate"Fragrance" or "parfum" is one of the biggest red flags in personal care — a single term that can include up to 3,000 different chemicals without any required disclosure. Fragrance is the leading cause of contact allergy in cosmetics. Many fragrance compounds are skin sensitizers and potential endocrine disruptors.
SODIUM BENZOATE
moderateSodium benzoate is a chemical preservative. When combined with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it can form benzene — a known carcinogen. It is also linked to hyperactivity in children, leading the UK to recommend removing it from children's foods.
