Skin

How it’s judged

Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.

What it may help with

Hydration i3.0 / 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 Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Propylene Glycol

Anti aging i2.8 / 4

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

From Tocopherol

Soothing i2.5 / 4

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

From Sunflower Oil, Rosemary Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

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 Sweet Almond Oil, Tocopherol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Texture i1.5 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Rosemary Extract

Things to watch

Photosensitivity i3.5 / 4

Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.

From Bergamot Oil

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, Limonene, Coumarin, Linalool

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, Limonene, Cocamide MEA, Bergamot Oil

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

Genotoxic carcinogenic i1.5 / 4

Whether there is evidence or regulatory concern about DNA damage, mutagenicity, or cancer risk.

From Cocamide MEA
