Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 5.5 ShowHide
Rates 8.6/10 on the rest of its formulation — the cap is a targeted caution, not a problem with the whole product.
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This moisturizer features a well-rounded blend of skin-benefiting ingredients. Pro-Vitamin B5 and Glycerin are excellent humectants, drawing moisture into the skin, while Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. Borage Seed Oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which can help support skin barrier function and reduce inflammation. The formulation is generally well-tolerated, with no major concerns for the general population. Individuals with extremely sensitive skin should always patch test new products, though the ingredients here are generally considered mild.

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.
