The marketplace derives these attribute tags from review text automatically. A single review can contribute to several attributes, so the mentions do not sum to the rating count.
Reading note. The capture returned the aggregate rating, the star histogram and the attribute sentiment table, but no individually quoted review text and no customer-uploaded photography on this listing. Every statement in this section therefore rests on the aggregates above, not on selected quotes.

Method & confidence
How this dossier was assembledWhat feeds each section
- Product information - the live retail listing captured on 2026-10-27, read in a US delivery context so prices render in USD.
- Rating & buyer voice - the aggregate score, star histogram and machine-derived attribute sentiment published on the listing.
- Ingredient dossier - a community ingredient reference entry (Packaging, posted 2024-12-29) merged with a second formulation-screening platform. Where both list the same INCI name it is counted once.
- Price & value - a third-party price tracker holding observations since 2015-04-26, cross-checked against the price shown on the day of capture.
Confidence
| High | Listing identity, live price, rating, star histogram, attribute sentiment |
| Medium | Ingredient register (a reference entry may lag a reformulation), screen badges |
| Low | Dated price points (sparse by design), any single caution flag taken in isolation |
Limits worth stating
- Reference ingredient ratings are community-aggregated, not a regulatory verdict, and concentration is not part of the rating.
- No individually quoted review text and no customer photography were available on this listing at capture time.
- Prices move; every figure here is a snapshot taken on 2026-10-27.
