1. Purified water scored 1 (low hazard). As expected, there were no health concerns for purified water.

18. Phenoxyethanol was given a 4 (moderate hazard). This can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. Similar to potassium sorbate, there are concerns, but limited evidence that it can be toxic to skin and immune system or cause allergies.

The Derma E Even Tone Brightening Cleanser is what I currently use while on my quest for healthy and effective skin care products. My daily facial care routine is pretty basic.

After washing my face I use rosewater to further help even my complexion and give it a nice glow, then I follow up with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil or unrefined coconut oil. A good quality oil is always essential.
