Yubotanics – Ingredients & Allergen Safety Statement
Last updated: [Insert Date]
At Yubotanics, we create products designed for sensitive skin, built on gentle, natural-leaning formulations. Safety, transparency, and ingredient integrity are core to how we operate. This Ingredients & Allergen Safety Statement outlines how we formulate, test, and communicate our ingredients to ensure customers can make informed decisions.
1. Our Formulation Philosophy
Yubotanics formulations prioritise:
-
Simple, effective ingredient lists
-
High-performing natural extracts (e.g., oats)
-
Minimal use of potential irritants
-
No unnecessary fillers
-
Thoughtfully selected oils, butters, and botanicals
-
Compliance with UK Cosmetic Regulations
Every ingredient must have a clear purpose—whether hydration, cleansing, texture, stability, or skin support.
2. Regulatory Compliance & Safety Assessments
All Yubotanics products undergo:
-
UK Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR)
-
Ingredient-level toxicology assessments
-
Concentration-limit checks (IFRA & EU guidelines)
-
Stability and compatibility testing
-
Batch traceability and material documentation
This ensures each formulation is legally approved and safe for cosmetic use on the skin.
3. Ingredient Transparency
We provide full ingredient lists (INCI format) for every product.
We do not hide ingredients behind umbrella terminology.
We do not use proprietary blends to obscure what’s inside.
If you need clarification on any ingredient, our support team is available.
4. Allergen Awareness
While Yubotanics products are designed for sensitive skin, natural ingredients can still trigger reactions in certain individuals.
Possible Allergens Include:
-
Botanical oils (e.g., almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil)
-
Essential oils (which naturally contain allergenic compounds)
-
Natural butters (mango butter, shea butter, etc.)
-
Oat derivatives (may affect individuals with oat sensitivities)
We ensure all potential allergens listed under UK/EU cosmetic regulations—such as linalool, limonene, geraniol, etc.—are clearly disclosed when present above mandatory thresholds.
5. Essential Oils & Sensitivity
Essential oils are used sparingly and responsibly.
We adhere to:
-
IFRA safety limits
-
Sensitive-skin formulation best practice
-
Avoidance of high-irritation oils in leave-on products
Even safe concentrations may affect individuals prone to fragrance sensitivities.
6. Nut & Seed Allergies
Some products contain oils derived from nuts or seeds (e.g., almond oil, grapeseed oil).
Although cosmetic-grade oils are typically refined and filtered, individuals with severe allergies should:
-
Review the ingredient list carefully
-
Conduct a patch test
-
Consult a medical professional if unsure
We cannot guarantee full allergen cross-contamination elimination due to global supplier networks, though we take reasonable precautions.
7. Patch Testing Guidance
We strongly recommend patch testing before full use—especially for:
-
Sensitive skin
-
Reactive skin conditions
-
Known allergies
-
First-time users of natural skincare
Patch test procedure:
-
Apply a small amount to the inner forearm.
-
Leave for 24 hours.
-
If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
Patch testing does not guarantee zero reactions but significantly reduces risk.
8. Who Should Avoid Use
Yubotanics products may not be suitable for:
-
Individuals with known allergies to any listed ingredient
-
Those with active skin infections or broken skin
-
Anyone with diagnosed dermatological conditions that require medical treatment
-
Individuals sensitive to fragrance or essential oils (where applicable)
If unsure, seek advice from a GP or dermatologist.
9. Product Variations
Because we utilise natural ingredients:
-
Colour
-
Texture
-
Aroma
may vary slightly between batches.
This does not affect safety or performance.
10. Continuous Improvement
Ingredient safety is an ongoing priority.
As we grow, we will continue to:
-
Review new research
-
Strengthen allergen controls
-
Improve sourcing and traceability
-
Update formulations with best-in-class ingredients
-
Communicate transparently with customers
