Tools
Never in our formulas
Only things with a real reason behind them. Silicones, parabens and sulfates in an occasional clarifier are not on this list: the evidence does not support fearing them.
Added fragrance and fragrance allergens
Fragrance is a main cause of contact allergy. In one clinic series, 15.7% of dermatitis patients reacted to a fragrance. Linalool and limonene appear in about half of fragranced products.
Essential oils
Natural does not mean gentle. In 62,354 patch-tested clinic patients, 1.4% reacted to an essential oil alone. Ylang-ylang, sandalwood, jasmine, peppermint and oxidised tea tree oil led.
MI / MCI preservatives
MI drove a rise in contact allergy in Europe. EU banned it from leave-ons in 2017; rinse-off is capped at 15 ppm. About 3 in 100 tested patients react.
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
These preservatives slowly release formaldehyde, a known skin allergen. A 2022 clinical review says they still cause dermatitis, sometimes without being listed on the label.
Zinc pyrithione
Banned in EU cosmetics from March 2022 as toxic for reproduction (hazard class). EU experts judged it safe in rinse-off anti-dandruff shampoo up to 1%, but no exemption was granted.
Harsh sulfates in daily products
SLS is the standard irritant control in skin patch tests. A gentler cleanser, sodium lauroyl glutamate, irritated far less in 15 people. Fine for an occasional deep clean, not daily.
Drying alcohol in leave-ons
In 15 volunteers, strong alcohols lowered skin hydration without breaking the barrier. A mild effect, so a caution for dry or sensitive scalps. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are fine.
Coal tar
Coal tar can cause folliculitis, irritation and allergy, and contains carcinogens seen in animals and workers (patients show no clear tumour rise). A non-tar shampoo matched it in one trial.
Methyldibromo glutaronitrile
A preservative the EU banned in all cosmetics because allergy kept rising. In Denmark, positive allergy tests fell from 4.6% to 2.6% after the ban.
