At a glance
Summary
This product contains synthetic ingredients such as sodium lauroyl isethionate and synthetic fragrance, which can be potential skin irritants. The presence of tetrasodium EDTA and tetrasodium etidronate, while common in cosmetics, are not natural and contribute to its processed nature. Despite these concerns, the absence of heavily penalized ingredients like parabens or formaldehyde releasers helps maintain a moderate score.
