No chemicals of concern

Contains fewer chemicals that are associated with irritation. Also avoids chemicals that have been linked to health or environmental risks.

A red badge means the product passes our criteria for having no chemicals of concern which is that it does not contain any ingredients on Impact Score's list of chemicals of concern. A grey badge means we found one, or more, chemicals of concern. The badge applies to skin and haircare products which includes cosmetics and personal care items. Some chemicals in personal products cause skin irritation for some people. Others have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption and infertility. Impact Score's checklist has been compiled from a number of sources which cite common chemicals of concern including the Campaign for SafeCosmetics, Breast Cancer UK and the David Suzuki Foundation. Due to different names for the same ingredient, abbreviations and other issues Impact Score’s list will necessarily evolve over time and may not pick up all variations, including errors, of chemicals on our list. Always check the label if there are particular chemicals which you are concerned about.
