How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

UV protection i4.0 / 4

Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.

From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Tocopheryl Glucoside

Soothing i3.5 / 4

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Avene Thermal Spring Water, Sunflower Oil, Glycine Soja Oil, Tocopherol

Anti aging i3.5 / 4

Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.

From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Tocopherol, Glycerin

Hydration i3.5 / 4

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Glycerin, Sunflower Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate

Barrier support i2.5 / 4

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Glycerin, Tocopherol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Things to watch

Sensitization i3.0 / 4

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Fragrance, Benzoic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Irritation i2.5 / 4

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Fragrance, Benzoic Acid, Pentylene Glycol

Eye irritation i1.5 / 4

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Fragrance, Benzoic Acid

Systemic exposure i1.0 / 4

Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.

From Fragrance

Barrier disruption i1.0 / 4

Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.

From Fragrance
