EWG hazard reflects the rating of the ingredient, not the real-world risk of a finished product — hazard depends on concentration. How we read these.
0.01–1%
Most studied between 0.1% and 1%. Higher is not automatically better — irritation climbs with dose, so a well-formulated lower strength is often the sweet spot.
A general research norm — not the amount in any specific product (INCI lists don't disclose amounts).
Good: Aids with skin regeneration and skin elasticity
