Yuka Score: 20

The scoring system for cosmetics analyzes every ingredient that goes into the product.

Based on the current state of science, each ingredient is assigned a risk level according to its potential effects on health or the environment: endocrine disruption, carcinogenic, allergenic, irritant or pollutant. The potential risks associated with each ingredient are displayed in the application, with the relevant scientific sources.

Ingredients are classified into four risk categories:

• Risk-free: 75-100
• Low risk: 50-74
• Moderate risk: 25-49
• High-risk: 0-24

The score is based on the level of the highest-risk ingredient present in the product.

If a high-risk ingredient is present in the product, the score will automatically be lower than 25/100.

If the highest-risk ingredient is a moderate-risk ingredient, the product’s score will be lower than 50/100.

The other ingredients will determine precisely which score the product receives within the defined range.

Yuka's database contains approximately 12,600 cosmetic ingredients. Some may not yet be listed, but they are added after analysis by our toxicologist.

The details of risk associated with each ingredient, as well as the corresponding main scientific sources, are displayed in each application.
