Yuka App & Ingredient RatingsUpdated 10 days ago

As someone who’s ingredient-conscious, it’s completely natural to feel concerned when you see an app score that looks negative. Apps like Yuka can be a helpful starting point, but they aren’t always accurate or complete.

Here’s what’s important to know about Nyrah products:

  1. Every formula is legally assessed
    All cosmetic products in the UK and EU must undergo a full toxicologist safety assessment as part of the Product Information File (PIF). This assessment reviews every single ingredient, at the actual concentration used in the formula, and confirms it is safe for use. Products cannot legally be sold without this process.

  2. Why Yuka can look misleading
    Yuka flags ingredients based on a database of theoretical risks, but it does not:

  • Consider the real-world concentration levels used in cosmetics.

  • Note that EU/UK regulations already set strict maximum limits for each ingredient.

  • Recognise that some flagged ingredients (like UV filters in SPF) are required for the product to work and are clinically tested for safety and effectiveness.

  1. Our commitment at Nyrah
    We only use ingredients that are approved under UK/EU regulations, and all our products are independently safety assessed. Where fragrance allergens are present (like Limonene or Linalool), we clearly list them so anyone with sensitivities can avoid them. We also offer fragrance-free options for complete peace of mind.

At Nyrah Beauty, our focus is always on creating safe, effective, and high-performing products you can trust; backed by science and regulatory expertise, not just an app score.
