EWG Rating [ 3 ]
Bad for dry skin
Bad for dry skin

Benzoyl Peroxide is very effective against acne. It destroys Propionibacterium acnes - a bacteria that causes this problem. That's why it works so great. It also helps to renew and exfoliate dead cells helping to make the skin cleaner. You can find this component in many anti-acne products.

BUT you should avoid this component if you have dry skin. Even people with oily skin notice that it dries the skin hard. Be careful!

Role: Emulsion stabilizer, Gel forming, Viscosity controlling agent
Moisturizing
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Carbomer is used for formulation purposes. It helps to control the viscosity and flow of a product. It’s considered safe but only if it’s well purified. Poorly purified carbomers may contain benzol which may lead to irritation.

#3Disodium EDTA

Origin: chemical
Role: Chelating agent, Viscosity controlling agent
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Disodium EDTA is an emulsion stabilizer and chelating agent. It deactivates the metal ions preventing them from reacting with other active ingredients. It improves the stability of a cosmetic formula and keeps the product’s consistency, texture, and pH unchanged. It doesn’t have any skincare effects and is used for formulation purposes only.
