Benzyl Salicylate is an ester of benzyl alcohol and salicylic acid; this ingredient has been associated with allergies and contact dermatitis.

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a toluene-based ingredient used as a preservative in food and personal care products.

Caprylyl glycol (1,2-octanediol) is used as a skin conditioning agent; has some antimicrobial activity.

Colorant "Rust" red. It's red iron oxide.

Colorant, yellowish color. It's yellow Iron oxide.

Citronellol is a naturally ocurring scent ingredient derived from plants such as rose, geranium and lemongrass.

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone is a silicone compound.

This common sunscreen ingredient is shown to have hormone-mimicking effects on laboratory animals. This chemical is found in humans, including mothers' milk samples.

Ethylhexylglycerin is a glyceryl ether used as a weak preservative and skin conditioning agent.

The term "fragrance" is used in cosmetics to represent a mixture of chemicals with scent in it. When "fragrance" is used, it's for the manufacturer to undisclose the recipe for their fragrances as per associated laws in most countries. Many fragrance ingredients are known to possibly cause allergic reactions to sensitive skin types and some studies have tied some frangrances to health risks such as cancer. So the lack of clarity in what fragrances were exactly used is a reason to avoid "fragrance" in cosmetics all together.

Hexyl cinnamal is a naturally occurring and synthetic scent ingredient; it is associated with allergic reactions.

Hydroxycitronellal is a common scent ingredient; produced synthetically from naturally occurring scent chemical citronellal.

Limonene is a scent ingredient and solvent naturally ocurring in the rind of citrus fruit. Upon storage and exposure to sunlight and air, limonene degrades to various oxidation products which act as skin and respiratory irritants and sensitizers. (Source : EWG)

a fragrant component of both lavender and coriander. It can be incorporated into cosmetics for perfuming, deodorant, or odor-masking activity.

Inert siliceous material consisting chiefly of silicon, aluminum, sodium and potassium oxides

also known as silicone dioxide. Silica has a variety of applications: to control a product?s viscosity, add bulk, and reduce a formulation?s transparency. It can also function as an abrasive. In addition, it can act as a carrier for emollients, and may be used to improve a formulation?s skin feel. Spherical silica is porous and highly absorbent, with absorption capabilities roughly 1.5 times its weight. A typical claim associated with silica is oil control. It is found in sunscreens, scrubs, and wide range of other skin care, makeup, and hair care preparations. It has been successfully used in hypoallergenic and allergy-tested formulations.

Stearic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid. It is listed in the PETA's Caring Consumer guide as a substance of animal origin, since stearic acid is primarily derived from rendered fat of farm and domestic animals. (Source : EWG) Stearic acid may cause allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin and is considered somewhat comedogenic. (Source : Michalun)

Talc is a powdered native, hydrous magnesium silicate sometimes containing a small portion of aluminum silicate. Talc can be contaminated with asbestos fibers, posing risks for respiratory toxicity and cancer. Studies by the National Toxicology Panel demonstrated that cosmetic-grade talc free of asbestos is a form of magnesium silicate that also can be toxic and carcinogenic.

Titanium dioxide is one of the most common physical UV blocker ingredient for sunscreens. Titanium Dioxide is also chemically inert, making it a crucial ingredient for sensitive skin types. Furthermore, Titanium Dioxide can be scaled down to nano-particles, making it highly unlikely to clog pores. It is often used in conjunction with other sunscreen chemicals to boost the product?s SPF value, thus reducing the risk of irritation or allergies attributed to excessive usage of chemical sunscreens. The smaller the particle size, the more unobtrusive TiO2?s application. Large particles, on the other hand, leave a whitish wash or look on the skin. (Source : Michalun) There's debate in the scientific community on the dangers of nano-particles penetrating deep into the skin, however recent studies have dismiss such claims.

Tocopherols (or Vitamin E) is a well known anti-oxidant. Vitamin E has great moisturizing capabilities. It's great for improving dry skin and even atopic dermatitis. Vitamin E also has shown to have anti-inflammatory effects for skin irritated by sun exposure and anti-aging effects. Source: Jaffary, F., Faghihi, G., Mokhtarian, A., & Hosseini, S.
