Why this number
The toughest extra is worth watching — it caps this bottle at Poor.
Poor · 49/100
- Formula51/100
The toughest extra on the list is the limit. A calm rest of the formula cannot lift that.
What pulled it down
The toughest extra sets the ceiling
The lowest-rated ingredient caps this bottle at 49. A pretty list cannot outrun one high-concern extra.
Homosalate
-10UV filter. SCCS has recommended concentration limits.
Homosalate · hormone signal
-4Flagged for endocrine activity in the literature we track. It never inflates the score — it only pulls it down.
Octinoxate
-10Chemical UV filter with endocrine activity signals.
Octinoxate · hormone signal
-4Flagged for endocrine activity in the literature we track. It never inflates the score — it only pulls it down.
Phenoxyethanol
-10Preservative. SCCS cap 1%. Irritant and possible neurotoxicity in infants at high dose.
Fragrance
-5Undisclosed mixture. Common contact allergen; may hide sensitising constituents.
For creams and washes, every flagged extra knocks the formula. The lowest-rated ingredient is the limit.

Phenoxyethanol
Worth watchingGenerally accepted at low levels. We still flag it for pregnancy as extra care, not a panic.
