Some concern

Why this score

Concern42 / 55
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: watch if sensitive
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine: watch if sensitive
  • Cocamide MEA: watch if sensitive
  • Fragrance: watch if sensitive

How much genuine, cited concern the ingredients carry, weighted by how much of each is likely present and whether the product stays on or rinses off.

Transparency12 / 20
  • Uses an undisclosed "fragrance/parfum" blend, so its scent allergens are hidden.

Whether the full ingredient list, and any fragrance, are actually disclosed.

Formulation restraint13 / 25
  • 4 known irritant or fragrance-allergen ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide MEA, Fragrance.

Needless irritant or allergen load for the product type. A clean, purposeful formula scores well without any "free-from" theater.
