How we picked these, and what each number means

Each ingredient here has published evidence for this concern. We then list every product we track that names one of them on its label.

Ordered by price, cheapest first. Price per ml is the truer number, and it only compares fairly between two products of the same kind and size.

We only check strength on serums and moisturisers. A face wash rinses off in seconds, so a serum's strength is the wrong bar for it. Most rows here have no strength printed at all.

How long a bottle lasts assumes one use a day, and a face-sized amount each time.

Which ingredients belong to which concern is a curated human judgement, not a calculation. The evidence for each is on its own page.
