Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Irritation or sensitivity | Very rare | Purified water itself is essentially inert; rare reactions are attributable to contaminants or accompanying ingredients rather than water. |
Transepidermal water loss aggravation in compromised skin | Rare | Evaporation of water from products may transiently increase dryness in very compromised skin barriers if occlusives are absent. |
Contact irritation | Uncommon | Mild redness or stinging, more likely in sensitive skin or at higher concentrations. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Sensitization can occur due to natural fragrance components such as geraniol and citronellol. |
Fragrance-related sensitivity | Uncommon | Aromatic constituents may trigger reactions in fragrance-sensitive individuals. |
Mild skin irritation or stinging | Common | More likely at higher concentrations or on compromised/sensitive skin |
Irritant contact dermatitis | Uncommon | Non-allergic irritation, often dose-dependent |
Worsening of pre-existing eczema or barrier-impaired skin | Rare | Penetration-enhancing effect may increase reactivity |
Systemic toxicity from topical use | Very rare | Reported mainly with extensive application on broken skin, especially in infants or burn patients |
Skin irritation | Common | Stinging, redness, or dryness, especially at higher concentrations or with prolonged use. |
Mucosal irritation | Uncommon | Irritation of eyes or mucous membranes on accidental contact. |
Contact urticaria | Rare | Immediate hives-like reaction reported in case studies. |
Severe systemic hypersensitivity | Very rare | Anaphylactoid reactions documented in isolated case reports, primarily with ophthalmic or inhaled exposure. |

| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Aqua Solvent / vehicle | Aqua (water) is the most common base ingredient in skincare formulations, serving as a solvent that dissolves water-soluble components and forms the medium for emulsions. It has no direct treatment activity and primarily contributes to texture, spreadability, and product delivery. |
| Rosa Damascena Flower Extract Antioxidant/soothing botanical extract | Rosa Damascena Flower Extract is a plant-derived ingredient obtained from damask rose petals, valued for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-conditioning properties as well as its fragrance. It is commonly included in toners, serums, and creams to soothe and hydrate the skin. |
| Propylene Glycol Humectant / solvent | Propylene glycol is a small glycol molecule widely used in skincare as a humectant, solvent, and penetration enhancer that helps attract water and dissolve other ingredients. It is considered a base/formulation ingredient rather than a therapeutic active. |
| Benzalkonium Chloride Preservative/antimicrobial | Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound used in skincare and topical products as a preservative and antiseptic agent. It disrupts microbial cell membranes, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. |
