Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream

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

From Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP

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 Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Ceramide EOP

Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.

From Tranexamic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract

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

From Centella Asiatica Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine

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

From Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ceramide NP, Ceramide EOP

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

From Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, C12-14 Pareth-12

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

From Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

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

From 1,2-Hexanediol, C12-14 Pareth-12, Ethylhexylglycerin

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

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.
