How we classify
Clarity needs context.
A single ingredient only tells part of the story. Concentration, how it combines with other ingredients and how it is used all matter. That’s why we don’t hand out a general good-or-bad grade.
Where does the information come from?
The product links are based on an export of the 1,064 active products from September 22, 2026. Duplicate names and spelling variants have been merged. The lists have not been checked against individual packages or batches, and formulations can change.
631 of the 663 entries were matched to active records in the EU database CosIng. 32 spellings are still marked as open. The product filter only highlights ingredients linked in this researched matrix.
European Commission CosIng provides substance names and possible functions. An entry there is neither an approval nor a proof of safety. For selected usage notes we use the specific SCCS opinions linked in the entry, plus information from the US FDA. An SCCS opinion is a scientific assessment; legal requirements apply separately.
The explanations are our own editorial summary of the linked sources. We keep possible ingredient functions, specific usage instructions and open questions separate.
Polymers, microplastics and the environment
With polymers, the structure, solubility, degradability and the exact form of the raw material all matter. The INCI name alone does not prove that a substance falls under the EU restriction on synthetic polymer microparticles. So we flag the question without labeling every gel-forming substance as microplastic or hard to break down.
The “polymer” tag is a research note derived from the ingredient name. It is not a finished environmental assessment and not a complete list of all polymers. A separate review of the raw-material data is still to come.

Cyclohexasiloxane (D6): a concrete environmental aspect
D6 raises environmental concerns because it persists and accumulates. The EU restriction on D4, D5 and D6 has different transition periods; for the cosmetic products that matter here, the further rules apply from June 6, 2027. None of this says anything general about how well silicones suit your skin.

Scent and personal sensitivity
Fragrances matter if you have a contact allergy to them. “Perfume” means a fragrance mixture and does not reveal its full composition. Plant-derived fragrances are not automatically suitable for every skin either.
The “Fragrance” filter shows possible functions listed in CosIng. It is not a list of proven allergens: a multi-purpose ingredient can appear there too. If you have a known allergy, what matters is your specific trigger and the current declaration on the packaging.

Vegan, plant-based or synthetic?
This glossary does not certify anything as vegan. For some ingredients we flag the question of origin. The actual source of the raw material and how it is made have to be confirmed by the manufacturer for each product.
A plant origin is no substitute for a tolerance test either. Personal preferences and a scientific safety assessment answer different questions.
Last updated: September 22, 2026 · Ingredient functions checked; safety and environmental assessments only to the extent described. This glossary does not replace individual medical advice or the safety assessment of a cosmetic product.
