What are the ratings for Comptoir des Huile products on Yuka?
All our products are rated 100/100 or “Excellent”. Our cosmetics are made without any chemical compounds: no mineral oil, silicone, aluminum salts, or even synthetic coloring. No endocrine disruptors!
Some of our products do not achieve a score of 100/100 due to our natural fragrances which contain essential oils. Essential oil allergens and certain essential oils themselves lower the score by 7 points per allergen or ingredient.
In overdose, essential oils can cause allergic reactions. However, in cosmetic products, essential oils are used in micro doses. The probability of a reaction is therefore minimal!
At Comptoir des Huiles, the presence of essential oils is solely for the purpose of perfuming our cosmetics in a 100% natural way. They are obviously dosed so as not to present any risk.
