Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This moisturizer offers a generally well-tolerated base with beneficial ingredients like soybean oil and colloidal oatmeal, making it suitable for most individuals seeking skin hydration and soothing. However, the presence of PEG-100 Stearate, an ethoxylated ingredient, means it may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane (a manufacturing by-product that IARC classifies as possibly carcinogenic, Group 2B), which is a consideration for those who prefer to avoid such compounds. The product also contains Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin as preservatives, which are generally well-tolerated but can be a concern for individuals with very sensitive skin or those avoiding synthetic preservatives. The numerous botanical extracts are not counted as a formulation strength.

Moisturizer with soothing oatmeal, ethoxylated ingredient concern
This moisturizer features soothing colloidal oatmeal and nourishing soybean oil. It contains PEG-100 Stearate, an ethoxylated ingredient that may carry trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans. While generally well-tolerated, this is a consideration for those avoiding such compounds. Preservatives like Phenoxyethanol are also present, which can be a concern for very sensitive skin.

Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Phenoxyethanol
Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used paraben-free preservative. The EU limits it to 1% in cosmetics (SCCS has confirmed this is safe for adults), and the French regulator ANSM advised in 2012 against leave-on products containing it for the nappy area of children under three and recommended a lower concentration for them. It can irritate sensitive skin.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex V (max 1.0%); SCCS opinion SCCS/1575/16; ANSM recommendation (2012)
Phenoxyethanol: regulation, sources and other products →Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs)
PEG ingredients are made by ethoxylation, which can leave traces of ethylene oxide (IARC Group 1) and 1,4-dioxane (IARC Group 2B) unless removed. Good manufacturing removes them, so the ingredient itself is not a hazard, but the label cannot tell you whether it was done well. PEGs should not be applied to broken skin.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 100F (ethylene oxide) and Vol. 71 (1,4-dioxane); Cosmetic Ingredient Review
Polyethylene Glycols (PEGs): regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains PEG-100 Stearate, an ethoxylated ingredient that may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans). While EU SCCS considers 1,4-dioxane at or below 10 ppm in finished cosmetics safe, individuals seeking to avoid potential carcinogens may wish to exercise caution.

Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The claim 'Restore' is a general benefit claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other label information.
The claim describes the intended use and target skin type for the product, which cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
AD-Resyl® is a proprietary name that cannot be matched to a specific listed ingredient.
The claim 'For Daily Use' is a usage instruction that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other label information.
The claim describes a benefit that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
The claim describes a benefit that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
The claim describes a benefit that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.
The ingredient list does not explicitly state 'fragrance' or 'parfum', but the absence of these terms does not definitively confirm the product is fragrance-free, as fragrance components can sometimes be listed under other names or be part of proprietary blends not fully disclose
The ingredient list does not contain any ingredients commonly identified as steroids, but this claim cannot be definitively verified solely from the provided ingredient list.
The claim 'Dermatologically Tested' refers to a testing process that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or other label information.
HydraBarrier™ Technology is a proprietary name that cannot be matched to a specific listed ingredient or verified from the ingredient list.
The pH value is stated on the label, but it cannot be verified from the ingredient list.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
