Sensitive skin: fragrance, essential oils, niacinamide Why?
- fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
- essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken skin.
- niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate young skin, and children rarely need them. We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
- Fragrance or essential oils (Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Limonene, Linalool): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate, especially alongside acne treatments. Fine for some teens, used a few times a week.
- Essential oils (Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil): A common cause of irritation and allergies, and they don't help acne.
Helps with acne: Niacinamide.
