2 ingredients on this label are flagged. A cosmetic's rating is set by its most serious finding — here, Potassium Hydroxide/ Hidróxido de Potasio.

1. Potassium Hydroxide/ Hidróxido de PotasioMinor concernAlkali (lye). It is used up in the product: as a pH adjuster it neutralises an acid in the formula, and in soft or liquid soap it turns the oils into soap. The EU caps the alkalinity it may leave (pH 11 for pH-adjuster use); the higher limits, with warnings, are only for hair straighteners, cuticle removers and depilatories.

   How sure we are

   Moderate confidence. Matched to part of a longer label entry, so the flagged form may not be the one in this product.

2. CI 77891/ Dióxido de Titanio (CI 77891)Minor concernPermitted white pigment and UV filter. Inhaled titanium dioxide powder is a suspected carcinogen, so the EU restricts it in loose face powders and hair sprays and bars it from any product that could be breathed in; in creams, toothpaste and other non-sprayed products those limits do not come into play.
