Safety Score
Vivia Derma Ever White Foaming Face Wash is a foaming cleanser with some brightening actives, but contains preservatives of concern.
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).

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.
