Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Skin irritation and dryness | Common | Disruption of the skin barrier and lipid removal, especially with high concentrations or prolonged contact; SLS is more irritating than SLES. |
Eye irritation | Common | Stinging and redness on ocular contact in rinse-off products. |
Contact dermatitis (irritant) | Uncommon | More likely with leave-on formulations or sensitive/atopic skin. |
Worsening of pre-existing eczema/atopic dermatitis | Uncommon | Barrier disruption can aggravate compromised skin. |
Allergic contact dermatitis (true sensitization) | Rare | SLS is primarily an irritant; genuine allergy is uncommon and may relate to manufacturing impurities. |
Contact dermatitis / skin irritation | Uncommon | Can occur, more likely on broken or damaged skin |
Allergic contact sensitization | Rare | Documented in patch testing; often the 'paraben paradox' where reactions occur on damaged but not intact skin |
Estrogenic/endocrine activity concerns | Very rare | Weak in vitro estrogenic effects reported; clinical significance at cosmetic concentrations remains debated |
Mild transient irritation or stinging | Uncommon | Usually resolves after application; more likely on sensitive or compromised skin. |
Redness (erythema) | Uncommon | Localized to application site and typically short-lived. |
Contact dermatitis / allergic sensitization | Rare | Reported with peptide-containing formulations, often linked to accompanying excipients or preservatives. |
Itching (pruritus) | Rare | May accompany irritation in predisposed individuals. |

| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| SLS\/SLES Surfactant/cleansing agent | Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) are anionic surfactants used in cleansers and shampoos to produce foam and remove oil and dirt. They are formulation base ingredients rather than treatment actives, with SLES generally milder than SLS. |
| Paraben Preservative | Parabens are a class of synthetic antimicrobial preservatives (e.g., methylparaben, propylparaben) used to prevent bacterial and fungal growth in cosmetics and personal care products. They are among the most widely used preservatives due to their broad-spectrum efficacy and low cost. |
| LLP Key active Peptide/skin-conditioning agent | LLP (often referring to a lipopeptide or lysine-linked peptide used in cosmetic formulations) is a signal-type peptide included to support skin conditioning and the appearance of firmness. Its efficacy data in topical products remain limited and largely manufacturer-derived. |
