As doctors who like to inject a dose of healthy scepticism to the myriad of skincare products that are on the shelves, we found ourselves researching the ingredients of every skincare product before applying it on our skin. We want to share all our safer, simplified skincare routines that we’ve landed on, as well as all the skincare formulations and tips we’ve discovered along the way.

We analyze the ingredients list of skincare using resources such as the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit organization dedicated to research and education about environmental and health concerns. EWG uses a scoring system from 1-10 to rate the known and suspected hazards of ingredients based on published literature.

Factors that we evaluate include:

• carcinogenicity (associations with cancer),
• developmental and reproductive toxicity (e.g. infertility, birth defects, and developmental delays),
• allergies and immunogenicity (harm to the immune system),
• endocrine disruption,
• eye, skin and lung irritation,
• organ system toxicity, and
• ecotoxicology (toxicity posed to the environment).

A score of 1-2 is classified as “low hazard”, 3-6 is “moderate hazard” and 7-10 is “high hazard”.

We like to limit use of skincare containing ingredients in the high hazard category, and recommend skincare with the majority of ingredients that fall in the low hazard category.

Apart from online resources, we also analyze product labels, product websites, ingredient disclosure documents, and toxicity databases to make our recommendations.
