Is Nuxe clean? Ingredient check of 68 products
Updated · Based on 4158 screened products
Short answer: we checked 68 of Nuxe's products, the current full-size range on us.nuxe.com (the US store) on 18 October 2026, taken from the ingredient list on each product page. 62 of 68 pass our clean check (none of our watchlist ingredients listed). 6 are flagged; the flags are due to titanium dioxide (6 products). 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 Nuxe products get flagged
Titanium dioxide (6 Nuxe 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 Nuxe product we checked
Ingredient lists come from us.nuxe.com (fetched 18 October 2026) unless the source column says otherwise. Formulas change and can differ by country, so always check the pack.
Which formulas: Nuxe is a French brand, and formulas sold in Europe can differ from US ones. Every Nuxe product on this page comes from us.nuxe.com, so these are the US formulas; no non-US formulas are included. On 19 October 2026 we compared the live us.nuxe.com catalogue with the products checked on 18 October 2026 and found no new products. Comparing with Caudalie?

Clean alternatives by product type
For each product category where a Nuxe 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 Nuxe 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.
