Safety score · 0–100

Good

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

A cleansing or emulsifying helper that keeps oil and water behaving, though it can be a bit drying for sensitive skin.

This ingredient works as a surfactant or emulsifier, helping oils disperse, formulas stay stable, or skin and hair get cleansed. Most materials in this class have acceptable topical safety in rinse-off or well-balanced leave-on systems, but they can still sting eyes and disrupt the barrier if used too aggressively. It sits in the moderate-to-good safety range rather than the ultra-gentle bucket.
