Total Radiance Face Wash
Fewer concerns on: Fragrance & Allergen Load, Preservative Safety
Ever White Foaming Face Wash

Scores: Total Radiance Face Wash has the higher Decode Label score (8.5 vs 3.5). Which difference matters most depends on who is eating or using it — that's your call.

Safety Score
Botani Bestie Total Radiance Face Wash is a botanical-rich cleanser with a focus on natural extracts and milder preservatives.
Safety Score
Vivia Derma Ever White Foaming Face Wash is a foaming cleanser with a focus on brightening actives but contains potentially sensitizing preservatives and undisclosed fragrance.
Side by side
What each label says.
Fragrance allergens matter mainly if you have sensitive skin or a known fragrance allergy.
What these labels can't tell us
- How much of each ingredient is in the product — labels list order, not amounts.
- What is inside a bare "Fragrance" — it can include allergens the label does not name.
- How the finished product performs, or how your skin or scalp will react — an ingredient list cannot show either.
- Anything a laboratory test would find — Decode Label reads labels; it does not test products.
Concern match
A separate lens from the overall Safety Score above — how well each product suits a specific concern, not an overall verdict. Each concern is scored 0–10: higher means less of that concern (5 ≈ neutral).

For , the two are evenly matched. The overall safety verdict is unchanged.
This one is read from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine — useful for choosing, but it is not a safety finding.

Botani Bestie Total Radiance Face Wash scores higher as it explicitly lists multiple essential oils like Lavandula Angustifolia Oil and Citrus Sinensis Peel Oil, allowing consumers to identify potential allergens, whereas Vivia Derma Ever White Foaming Face Wash uses a generic 'Fragrance' which can hide numerous undisclosed allergens.
Botani Bestie Total Radiance Face Wash scores higher due to its use of Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate, which are generally considered safer than the Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone present in Vivia Derma Ever White Foaming Face Wash, known for their sensitization potential.

Declared ingredients linked to common skincare goals
Ingredient read — not a safety scoreRead from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine, so these sit apart from the scores above and do not change the verdict. 5 means neutral — no ingredient that helps or hinders. Traditional cosmetic use, not a medical claim — and the ingredient list alone does not establish that the finished product delivers the benefit.
