ASPARTAME

Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

The artificial sweetener — yes, the same one in diet soda. In cosmetics it shows up only as a flavor in lip and oral-care products. Topical exposure is tiny but the IARC 2B note keeps it out of green.

Function

FLAVOURING

Skin benefits

  • Sweet flavor in lip/oral products

Known concerns

  • IARC Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans, 2023)
  • Source of phenylalanine (avoid in PKU)
