Top 50 best-selling products, rated

Real bestsellers. Real ingredients.

Fifty of the most popular make-up and skincare products on the market, each with its own ingredient breakdown. Open a product to see exactly what's inside.

Ingredient library

One sentence each. No chemistry degree required.

Every ingredient is rated green, amber or red, with the amount considered safe by regulators and how many studies sit behind it.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3

Calms redness and evens out tone. Well studied, gentle for most skin, and stable in most formulas.

Formaldehyde Releasers

DMDM Hydantoin, Quaternium-15

Preservatives that slowly release formaldehyde. A common cause of contact allergy; easy to swap out.

Synthetic Fragrance

Parfum

One word that can hide dozens of scent chemicals. Fine for many people, a top trigger for sensitive skin.
