Baby & Kids Sensitive Sun Lotion
Greenveil's read: looks good. Cosmetic safety minor.
- Minor
Why it's rated this way
1 ingredient on this label is flagged. A cosmetic's rating is set by its most serious finding — here, Sodium Hydroxide.
Sodium HydroxideMinor concernAlkali (lye). It is used up in the product: as a pH adjuster it neutralises an acid in the formula, and in 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.
