    Since this brand is very well known as the safest and most effective skincare, this may come as a shock. It was quite shocking for me too as I am devoted to their products. However, they all contain Propylparaben which is classified as a hazardous ingredient and is prohibited in leave-on products. If you do not already know, parabens are highly harmful to humans as they are endocrine disruptors that exhibit estrogenic and anti-androgenic properties. This means they may contribute to the development of estrogen-dependent tumours and thus certain breast cancers. Their SPF stuff contains Octocrylene and Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate which is a common chemical UV filter allergic in particular cases to the sun. It is also a suspected endocrine disruptor. SPF stuff also contains parabens and BHT which are also classified as hazardous.

    I know this brand has a really good name and I have used their products and liked them, unfortunately, they contain a hazardous ingredient Butylphenyl methylpropional which is a synthetic fragrance ingredient that causes Endocrine disruption. This ingredient is banned in use in Europe as it is suspected of being harmful to human fertility. It is also classified as Carcinogenic (cancer-promoting), Mutagenic, and Reprotoxic.

    Except for their Instant Resurfacing Mask, all their products contain high-risk ingredients such as Phenoxyethanol primarily used as a preservative that has toxic effects on blood and the liver. Moreover, they are also known to have effects on hormones and fertility. They also contain C13-14 Isoparaffin which is a Cancerogenic. C13-14 Isoparaffin is a mineral oil that contains residues such as MOAHs and MOSHs that promote the development of cancer and damage DNA. The two residues are unfortunately present in half of all tested cosmetic products. After 2 years of religiously using Versed products, I will sadly be discontinuing :'(

    While Aesop is well known for their spa-like fragrance and skincare, be aware that their products contain hazardous such as Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone which are preservatives used in place of parabens which are highly allergic substances completely banned in leave-on products, and moderate-risk ingredients such as Phenoxyethanol which is primarily used preservatives which have toxic effects on blood and liver and some effects on hormones and fertility. For a product labelled high-end and quite expensive as compared to many safe drugstore way cheaper products, I am very disappointed in Aesop and will not be using their products ever again :'(
