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 33 of First Aid Beauty's products, the current full-size range on firstaidbeauty.com (US) on 19 October 2026, taken from the full ingredient list on each product page. 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 First Aid Beauty products get flagged
Titanium dioxide (7 First Aid Beauty 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.
Every First Aid Beauty product we checked
Ingredient lists come from firstaidbeauty.com (fetched 19 October 2026) unless the source column says otherwise. Formulas change and can differ by country, so always check the pack.
US over-the-counter products list their active ingredients first. Where the page states them, we add them before the full list: Hydrating Sunscreen Milk SPF 45 (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene; filed as chemical sunscreen), Ultra Repair Cream (colloidal oatmeal 0.5%) and Body Acne Clearing Mist (salicylic acid 2%). For Acne Clearing Pads, the page lists only the inactive ingredients; the active, salicylic acid 2%, is named in the product title but not in the list. We show the list as published. Salicylic acid is not on our watchlist, so this does not change the result. Comparing with CeraVe? See First Aid Beauty vs CeraVe, compared on the US formulas.
Not included
- Kits, duos, trios, bundles and routines, which combine products already listed.
- Travel sizes, minis, samples and other sizes or pack counts of listed products (for example Ultra Repair Cream 2 oz, Ingrown Hair Pads 60 count and the 10 oz Toasted Coconut KP scrub).
- Ultra Light Liquid Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide SPF 30: its product page showed no ingredient list on 19 October 2026, so we could not check it.
- Ultra Gentle Cream-to-Foam Face Cleanser and Smooth Shave Cream: on 19 October 2026 both pages showed the same list as Ultra Gentle Pure Skin Face Cleanser (with no colloidal oatmeal), so we could not verify their own lists.
- Scented Ultra Repair Creams (Fresh Strawberry, Toasted Coconut, Warm Vanilla) and the Fresh Peach and Fresh Strawberry KP Bump Eraser scrubs: their pages showed the unscented original list (no fragrance listed), so we could not verify their own lists. The Toasted Coconut KP scrub has its own list and is included.
- Rescue Razor and blade refills (tools).

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.
