WIMJ Irritancy score

The WIMJ Irritancy score gives you an estimate of how likely a product is to irritate the skin. The irritation risk estimate is based on the clinical and research data available. The “fire” icon indicator tells you if a product has a low (green), medium (yellow), or high (red) irritancy risk.

If the WIMJ algorithm flags a product with a medium or high skin irritation risk, it does not mean that the product will certainly cause a problem. Rather, it suggests that the chance of irritation is higher for this product compared to the low irritancy ones. By the same token, a product with low irritation risk can still cause a reaction, especially if you have a rare sensitivity or developed an allergy to a particular ingredient. It is always best to review the full ingredient list and patch test new products before using them.
