How this analysis is generated
Each ingredient on this product's published label is matched against our 237 source-cited chemical rules, each documenting a concern from peer-reviewed research and regulatory sources. Severity tiers:
Avoid (red) — banned or restricted in the EU, UK or Canada but still legal in the US, IARC-listed, or strong contact-allergen evidence.
Caution (amber) — regulatory caution, contamination risk, or condition-specific irritant.
Mild (green) — low concern but commonly avoided in low-tox formulations.
Each flag links to its primary chemical-level source, and each
condition pill links to a PubMed-indexed paper that
discusses the chemical class in the context of that condition.
Every citation is a real peer-reviewed paper — we don't link to
Wikipedia or PubMed search pages. Some pairs use a topically-broad
paper (e.g. a fragrance-allergen patch-test review) rather than a
single-pair study where the literature is thin. The full evidence
chain (chemical → mechanism → condition → paper) is one click away.
This is automated analysis of a published label, not medical advice
— always verify the label yourself before changing products.
