Clean at Sephora List: What It Actually Screens For (And the Gaps That Drive a Range Rover Through)
The Clean at Sephora list screens against approximately 50 ingredients, including parabens, sulfates SLS/SLES, phthalates, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, mineral oils, retinyl palmitate (in some formulations), oxybenzone, and several others. It does NOT screen against synthetic fragrance, PEGs, many silicones, or chemical sunscreen filters beyond oxybenzone, which means the Clean at Sephora seal is a starting point, not an endorsement. A product can carry synthetic fragrance, dimethicone, and PEG compounds and still earn the seal.
