How we ranked

Every pick is a clean product in our directory: its listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups, which are based on IARC Monographs – List of Classifications classifications and EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 prohibitions/restrictions (see methodology). Clean products are ordered by a data score (max 9):

Products with the same score are ordered by, in turn: (a) the number of buy links we can offer, where a verified brand or Sephora product page counts double an Amazon brand-store link or a retailer search link; (b) whether we have an official product photo; (c) the length of the ingredient list, shorter first. Item (c) is only a neutral ordering signal to keep the order stable; it says nothing about safety or quality. Only if all of these are equal do we fall back to alphabetical order by brand and product name.

To keep the list varied, the top 3 are always three different brands and no brand appears more than twice in a table, so a lower-scoring product from another brand can appear above a higher-scoring one from a brand that is already listed.

The score only measures how complete and verifiable our data is. It is not a rating of performance, and we did not test products, collect reviews or compare prices. Affiliate commissions never affect inclusion or order.

FAQ

Are these the same as Rhode products?

No. They are clean products from other brands in the same product type, matched only by product category, product name and listed ingredients. They are not presented as equivalents: we have not tested any of them and make no claim that they look, feel, smell or perform like Rhode products.

What does "clean" mean on this page?

Every product listed contains none of our 10 watchlist groups in its listed ingredients, the same rules we apply to Rhode. For how Rhode's own products score, see Is Rhode clean?

Which product types are covered?

peptide lip treatments (5), milky toners (5), barrier creams (12). A type is shown only when at least 2 clean products from other brands match.

How did you choose and order the picks?

Only products whose listed ingredients contain none of our 10 watchlist groups qualify, and the order follows the rules in the "How we matched" section of this page. We did not test the products, collect reviews or compare prices, and affiliate commissions never change which products qualify or their order. The full criteria are in our methodology.

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.

Informational only, not medical advice. Ingredient lists come from brands' official websites and Open Beauty Facts (community-contributed); each product page links its source, and lists may be incomplete or out of date. "No watchlist ingredients found" means none of the ingredients on our documented watchlist appear in the listed ingredients; it is not a guarantee of safety. Always read the actual product label.
