Is Clinique clean? Ingredient check of 162 products
Updated · Based on 4158 screened products
Short answer: 81 of the 162 Clinique products we checked are clean: their listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups. 81 are flagged: titanium dioxide (81), talc (9), carbon black (3) (a product can have more than one flag).

Order: core everyday product types first (moisturizers and face creams, serums, cleansers, sunscreens, foundations, concealers, then hair care, other makeup, toners, masks, body, lip and hand care); accessories, removers, styling sprays and brow, lash, eye, body, spot-treatment, setting and shaving products come after them. Within that, our data score (methodology), with products from different categories shown where possible. This is not a rating.
We checked 162 of Clinique's products, the current non-SPF range on clinique.com (US) on 19 October 2026, taken from the ingredient list on each product page (every shade and size), plus two older Open Beauty Facts records. This is a factual check of ingredient lists against our definition of clean. It is not a verdict on the brand and says nothing about how well any product works.
What "clean" means here
On CleanGlow, a product is clean if its listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups, based on the IARC Monographs – List of Classifications and on bans and restrictions under the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. A product is flagged if at least one listed ingredient matches a watchlist group. The rules are the same for every brand (see the methodology). We do not judge fragrance, essential oils, performance or any marketing claim the brand makes.
Why Clinique products get flagged
Titanium dioxide (81 Clinique products)
IARC classifies titanium dioxide as Group 2B ("possibly carcinogenic to humans"), based on evidence from inhaling the powder. We flag every product that lists it, including where it is only a pigment, an opacifier or a "may contain" shade pigment, and including mineral sunscreens that use it as a UV filter. A flag means the ingredient is on the list. It is not a measured risk for that product. Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 93. See Titanium dioxide for every product we flag for it.
Talc (9 Clinique products)
IARC classified talc as Group 2A ("probably carcinogenic to humans") in 2024. We flag every product that lists talc. Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 136 (talc, Group 2A). See Talc for every product we flag for it.
Carbon black (3 Clinique products)
Carbon black (CI 77266) is in IARC Group 2B. We flag it wherever it is listed. Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 93. See Carbon black for every product we flag for it.

Ingredient lists come from clinique.com (US) (fetched 19 October 2026) unless the source column says otherwise. Formulas change and can differ by country, so always check the pack.
clinique.com publishes an ingredient list for each shade or size. Where shades or sizes of one product have different lists, we show each list with its shade or size label, and a product is flagged if a watchlist ingredient appears in any of them. Two older records in our database come from Open Beauty Facts and could not be matched to one current clinique.com page, so they keep their Open Beauty Facts source (see the source column): "Smart clinical repair" (a partial, photo-read list that fits more than one Smart Clinical Repair product) and "Aromatics Elixir Antiperspirant Deodorant Roll-On" (no such page on clinique.com). Nine other older records were matched by product name and ingredient list and now use the clinique.com list. Clinique has an official store in Amazon Premium Beauty, so the Amazon button goes to that store. Looking for products of the same type without titanium dioxide? See clean alternatives to Clinique products without titanium dioxide, matched by type.
Not included
- Every SPF product (28 products, for example Moisture Surge Broad Spectrum SPF 28, Superdefense City Block SPF 50, Even Better Makeup SPF 15 and the UV Solutions sunscreens): on 19 October 2026 clinique.com listed only their inactive ingredients and did not publish the sunscreen active ingredients, so we could not check the full formula.
- Over-the-counter acne and antiperspirant products whose page leaves out the active ingredient (Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup, Clinical Clearing Gel, Clinical Advanced Clearing Gel, Cleansing Gel, Clarifying Lotion, All-Over Clearing Treatment and Acne + Line Correcting Serum, and the Antiperspirant-Deodorant Roll-On): we could not check the full formula.
- Pages without an ingredient list on 19 October 2026: Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette, Pep-Start Eye Cream, High Impact Lash Amplifying Serum, Stay-Matte Universal Blotting Powder, Brow Shaper and Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser with Pure Vitamin C.
- Limited-Edition Almost Lipstick in Black Honey (the same product as the Black Honey shade of Almost Lipstick) and the Great Skin, Great Cause limited edition of Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+.
- Fragrance (Clinique Happy, Aromatics Elixir and others; our database has no fragrance category), Color Rich Nail Polish (no nail category), brushes, sets, kits, gift sets, minis, travel sizes and merch.
Clean alternatives by product type
For each product category where a Clinique product is flagged, these are clean products from other brands in the same category of our database, ordered by our data score (methodology). We match on product category only. They are not presented as equivalents: we have not tested them and make no claim that they look, feel or work like the Clinique product.

FAQ
Is Clinique clean?
By our definition, 81 of the 162 Clinique products we checked are clean: their listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups. 81 are flagged. This is a check of ingredient lists, not a verdict on the brand, and it says nothing about how well any product works.
Why are some Clinique products flagged?
The flags are due to titanium dioxide (81), talc (9), carbon black (3) (a product can have more than one flag). The most common reason is titanium dioxide (81 products): IARC classifies titanium dioxide as Group 2B ("possibly carcinogenic to humans"), based on evidence from inhaling the powder. We flag every product that lists it, including where it is only a pigment, an opacifier or a "may contain" shade pigment, and including mineral sunscreens that use it as a UV filter. A flag means the ingredient is on the list. It is not a measured risk for that product. Source: IARC Monographs Vol. 93.
Which Clinique product types pass our check?
Clean products by category (clean of checked): face creams 25 of 35, cleansers 29 of 34, eye makeup 1 of 18, face makeup 2 of 16, mascaras 1 of 11, foundations 0 of 9, toners 9 of 9, lipsticks 0 of 7, serums 2 of 7, body lotion 5 of 5, lip care 2 of 4, masks 2 of 3, concealers 0 of 1, deodorant 1 of 1, hair care 1 of 1, hand care 1 of 1.
Where do the ingredient lists come from?
From clinique.com (fetched 19 October 2026), unless the source column in the table says otherwise. 2 of the 162 products use another source, all of them Open Beauty Facts. Formulas change and can differ by country, so always check the pack.
Are there clean alternatives to the flagged Clinique products?
For each product category where a Clinique product is flagged, the "Clean alternatives by product type" section on this page lists clean products from other brands in the same category, and our guide Clean alternatives to Clinique without titanium dioxide (matched by type) matches them by product type. They are not presented as equivalents: we have not tested them and make no claim that they look, feel or work like the Clinique product.

Hazard is not risk. An IARC classification says whether a substance can cause cancer under some conditions (e.g. titanium dioxide is classified for inhaled powder), not that a cosmetic containing it is harmful at normal use. EU restrictions set use limits. This page is informational, not medical advice; talk to a dermatologist about your own skin.
