“—” means no specific record for that ingredient in that jurisdiction's lists — it is not an approval. Restricted ingredients are allowed within limits (concentration, product type, label warnings); a product listing one is not necessarily over the limit. How we check.

Products from other brands whose ingredient lists overlap most with this one. The score weighs the first ingredients most (labels list them roughly by amount), skips ingredients found in most products, and counts UV filters and less common ingredients more. Similar ingredient lists (not a test of how they work) — amounts, texture and results can differ.
Based on the listed ingredients only; recalculated weekly. Not a judgment of which product is better, safer or the same.
