Coverage & match quality
5 ratings · 1 of 4 axes
- Some ratings rest on an automatic match that has not been human-reviewed.
- Fewer raters reach smaller-brand products, so a missing rating is not a clean bill of health, only a gap.

What these ingredient tags mean (2)
These describe what an ingredient is, not whether it is a problem. The stance marks above are the ratings; these are not.
commonly dryinghamamelis virginiana extract, alcohol
- hamamelis virginiana extract: A tannin-rich astringent; the distillate sold under this name usually carries added alcohol, which is where the dry finish comes from. United States Pharmacopeia monograph "Witch Hazel", USP-NF version 02_01, DOI 10.31003/USPNF_M89070_02_01. The public DOI landing page carries a 2018 copyright and shows the definition, "Witch Hazel is a clear, colorless distillate prepared from recently cut and partially dried dormant twigs of Hamamelis virginiana L."; the specification, a distillate to which "150 mL of alcohol" is added per 850 mL at 14,0% to 15,0% ethanol, sits behind the USP subscription paywall. The monograph governs the pharmacopoeial article, not every product that prints this INCI name.
- alcohol: A fast-evaporating solvent that leaves a dry finish. International Chemical Safety Card ICSC 0044, Ethanol (anhydrous), prepared by an international group of experts for the ILO and WHO: "The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking." Bommannan et al., as reported by Lachenmeier DW, "Safety evaluation of topical applications of ethanol on the skin and inside the oral cavity", J Occup Med Toxicol 2008;3:26, DOI 10.1186/1745-6673-3-26, open access, reference 82: "Bommannan et al. found in vivo in humans that ethanol enters the skin and removes measurable quantities of the lipid barrier material from the stratum corneum." Both describe stronger exposures than a cosmetic formula.
humectantGlycerin
- Glycerin: A humectant, and one of the two ingredients a comparison of moisturiser components found made a significant difference to skin hydration. FDA OTC skin protectant monograph, 21 CFR 347.10(h), lists glycerin as a skin protectant at 20 to 45%. On the humectant half: Jeong CB, Han JY, Cho JC, Suh KD, Nam GW, "Analysis of electrical property changes of skin by oil-in-water emulsion components", Int J Cosmet Sci 2013;35(4):402-410, DOI 10.1111/ics.12059, PMID 23621673, found that "glycerine and urea showed significant skin hydration effects compared with other humectants".
