Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
From Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Homosalate
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, Sphingolipids, Biosaccharide Gum-2, Pentylene Glycol
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Sphingolipids, Phospholipids, Glycerin, Tocopherol
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From ACETYL CARNOSINE, Tocopherol, Glycerin
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Biosaccharide Gum-2, Magnesium Sulfate, Sphingolipids, Tocopherol
Things to watch
Whether it has known or suspected hormone-related activity or endocrine-disruption concern.
From Homosalate, Octocrylene
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 Homosalate, Octocrylene
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Octocrylene, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenoxyethanol
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Homosalate, Phenoxyethanol, Pentylene Glycol, Chlorphenesin
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Phenoxyethanol
