Why it's rated this way

3 ingredients on this label are flagged. A cosmetic's rating is set by its most serious finding — here, Cetrimonium Chloride.

  1. Cetrimonium ChlorideMinor concernHair-conditioning quaternary ammonium. It irritates skin and eyes at high strength, so the EU caps it (other than as a preservative) at 2.5 % in rinse-off hair products, 1 % in leave-on hair products and 0.5 % in leave-on face products — the levels the SCCS found safe.
    What it is
    Its recorded role: preservative and antimicrobial. About Cetrimonium Chloride

    Regulatory basis
    EU Cosmetics Regulation, Annex III — allowed only within set limits and conditions; Greenveil's curated cosmetic-ingredient concern list.
    How sure we are
    High confidence. The label names this substance exactly.
  2. Potassium HydroxideMinor 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.
