Advisory

  • Contains fragrance: Fragrance

Fragrance does not change the rating; it matters if your skin reacts to fragrance.

Why it's rated this way

2 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
