Our Product Rating System
First, Camille (co-creator of Welpr) hand picks cleaner product options from a variety of sources.
Next, we collect information about each product's safety, consumer satisfaction, and eco-ethical standing.
Finally, we run all this information through an algorithm that calculates the Welpr Rating.
Welpr Rating:
5.0/5
Part 1: Product safety
We evaluate safety information from 3rd party organizations (e.g. EWG, Made Safe, etc.). Instead of relying solely on any one of these companies for safety information, we assess all of them.
Part 2: Consumer satisfaction
We scour the web for consumer ratings and reviews to verify products are not only cleaner options, but also effective. Products can either be Above Average, Average, or Below average for their respective category (e.g. cleaning products).
Part 3: Ethics & Environment
When you buy a product, you’re supporting that company with your dollars. We believe it’s important to support ethical companies, so we pool together certifications that verify a company's ethics and environmental impact.
Common Harmful Chemicals in Brow Gel
Chemical Name
Why it’s harmful
Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resin is frequently used as an adhesive but can have health effects through skin contact or inhalation. Overexposure can lead to eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation, as well as skin allergies and asthma.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxyethylcellulose plays a crucial role in cosmetics and personal care products as a binding, emulsion-stabilizing, and viscosity-controlling agent. It is a versatile ingredient, serving as a thickener and rheology modifier in toothpaste formulations, and effectively thickens products like shampoos, body washes, and shower gels. This chemical enhances the texture and feel of skin and hair products, reduces skin irritation potential, and reduces stickiness in hair gels. Importantly, it is considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel.
Panthenol
Panthenol is commonly utilized in cosmetics and personal care products as a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer, helping retain moisture in various applications like foundations, lipsticks, shampoos, and sunscreens. It typically requires skin contact to cause a rash and is found in a wide range of products such as cuticle oils, nail treatments, sunburn treatments, and eye drops.
