What this is. Ingredient-label data from Open Beauty Facts (snapshot 2026-07-31), not laboratory testing. Coverage is crowdsourced, partial and Europe-weighted, so this is 8 of the 24 Dior entries in that database, and US formulations often differ. A flagged ingredient is not automatically harmful — a gel thickener and a solid microbead are both synthetic polymers and are not the same risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dior use microplastics?

Most Dior products we could analyse listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer. Of 8 Dior products with a readable ingredient list on Open Beauty Facts, 5 listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer (63%). This is label data, not lab testing, and a flagged ingredient is not automatically harmful.

Which ingredients are flagged in Dior products?

Most frequently: BHT / BHA (5 of 8), Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Lilial) (1 of 8), PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) (1 of 8), Nylon-12 (1 of 8). Each has its own page explaining what it is and how concerned to be.

Is Dior safe to use?

That is not a question label data can answer, and we will not pretend otherwise. This page reports which synthetic polymers appear in ingredient lists. Whether a given product suits you depends on the ingredient, its concentration, the product type, and your own skin and priorities. Use the per-ingredient pages to judge severity rather than treating any flag as a verdict.

How was this measured?

Products were pulled from the Open Beauty Facts API, filtered to those with a usable ingredient list, and every INCI token matched against our flagged ingredient database. Matching is token-level: an ingredient list is split on commas and each token yields at most one ingredient, so "dimethicone" is never also counted as "methicone". Snapshot 2026-07-31.
