Greenveil's read: consider avoiding. Cosmetic safety critical.

Chemical concern
Not assessed

Advisory

  • Contains fragrance: Parfum
  • Fragrance allergens: Benzyl Alcohol, Citronellol, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Coumarin
  • Made with lye: Sodium Hydroxide

Fragrance does not change the rating; it matters if your skin reacts to fragrance. EU-declared fragrance allergens: relevant only if you are sensitised to them. Made with lye (sodium hydroxide); it is consumed during saponification and none remains in the finished soap.

Why it's rated this way

4 ingredients on this label are flagged. A cosmetic's rating is set by its most serious finding — here, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde.
