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 46 of Tatcha's products, the current full-size range on tatcha.com (US) on 18 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 Tatcha products get flagged
Titanium dioxide (15 Tatcha 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 Tatcha product we checked
Ingredient lists come from tatcha.com (fetched 18 October 2026) unless the source column says otherwise. Formulas change and can differ by country, so always check the pack.
US sunscreens and over-the-counter products list their active ingredients first. We check actives and inactives together. The Melting Lip Balm publishes one ingredient list for all of its shades, so it is listed once with its shades. The Kissu Lip Mask Japanese Maple Red has its own ingredient list on tatcha.com, so it is listed separately from the original Kissu Lip Mask. Looking for the same product types from other brands?

- Samples (1 to 3 ml or 2 g sizes) and travel, mini and refill sizes of listed products (we list each product once).
- Tools and accessories (Aburatorigami blotting papers, the powder brush, the Kashoen facial cleansing brush, the Kinu silk face cloth, the Akari gold massager, the robe), the Pure Skin book and the e-gift card.
- The Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen SPF 35, shown as unavailable on tatcha.com on 18 October 2026.
Clean alternatives by product type
For each product category where a Tatcha product is flagged, these are clean products from other brands in the same category of our database, ordered by our data score (methodology).

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.

Are there clean alternatives to the flagged Tatcha products?
For each product category where a Tatcha 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 Tatcha (matched by type) matches them by product type.

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.
