How we picked

1. One criterion: the product's listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups (IARC carcinogen classifications and EU-prohibited/restricted cosmetic ingredients; see methodology).
2. Order: products whose ingredient list comes from the brand's official page first, then Open Beauty Facts; then alphabetical by brand. We do not rank by performance, price or popularity, and we did not test products.
3. No paid placement: sponsorship never changes inclusion or order.

Hazard is not risk. An IARC classification says whether a substance can cause cancer under some conditions (e.g. titanium dioxide is classified for inhaled powder), not that a cosmetic containing it is harmful at normal use. EU restrictions set use limits. This page is informational, not medical advice; talk to a dermatologist about your own skin.
