What's inside

T-Butyl Alcohol

Flammable, irritant to skin and eyes, central nervous system depressant upon ingestion, inhalation of vapors may cause respiratory irritation and dizziness

BHT

Potential endocrine disruption, irritant at high concentrations, possible contamination with impurities during manufacture

Octocrylene

Skin absorption, potential allergen, environmental persistence, potential for generating benzophenone (a potential carcinogen), suspected endocrine disruption, bioaccumulation in aquatic environments

Homosalate

Endocrine disruption potential, skin penetration, possible environmental toxicity, bioaccumulation

Organic Sugar Cane Alcohol Denat.

Skin irritation, dryness, sensitization, potential inhalation irritation, drying effect on skin barrier

PEG-8 Laurate

Ultra-processed emulsifier, potential gut microbiome disruption (class effect), may increase intestinal permeability and low-grade inflammation (animal and small human data with other emulsifiers), potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane or ethylene oxide (ethoxylation by-products), rare hypersensitivity to PEGs, limited human data for chronic dietary intake

Parfum

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential for phototoxicity

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Potential skin irritation, allergic reactions, potential endocrine disruption in high doses (based on limited animal studies)

Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Potential skin irritation, limited toxicity data, allergic reactions possible

Propylene Glycol

Skin irritation and sensitization in some individuals, potential for mild toxicity if ingested in large amounts

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Potential skin irritation, limited toxicity data for ingestion, not intended for food consumption

PEG-20

Possible skin irritation, contamination with 1,4-dioxane (carcinogen risk), sensitivities in compromised skin, impurities

2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol

Potential skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, limited toxicological data

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate

Potential skin irritation or allergic reaction (topical use), unknown oral safety, no established dietary benefits

Disodium EDTA

Potential mild skin irritation, environmental persistence, limited oral bioavailability

Sucrose Cocoate

Possible mild digestive discomfort if ingested, unestablished safety for regular oral intake, potential allergen to coconut-sensitive individuals

Sorbitan Stearate

Emulsifier that improves texture and stability of products, aids in mixing oil and water phases

Silica

Prevents clumping and improves texture in powdered products

Zinc PCA

Antimicrobial, reduces sebum production, helps manage acne-prone skin, regulates skin microbiome

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Moisturizing, enhances product spreadability, provides silky texture

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Improves texture of cosmetic products, enhances product stability

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

Film-forming agent, stabilizer, improves texture and durability of product formulations

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Emulsification and formulation stabilization, improves texture and spreadability in topical products

Capryloyl Salicylic Acid

Exfoliation, improved skin texture, reduced acne symptoms, anti-aging effects

Aqua

Widely used as a non-toxic solvent and carrier

Niacinamide

Supports skin barrier integrity, improves skin appearance, essential nutrient

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

Effective UVA protection in topical sunscreen formulations

Dimethicone

Reduces foam, provides skin conditioning, improves spreadability, chemically inert

Carnosine beta alanine

Antioxidant properties, potential to reduce oxidative stress, supports muscle function

Poloxamer 338

Effective solubilizer, emulsifier, low toxicity, biocompatible

Salicylic Acid

Antimicrobial properties, keratolytic/exfoliating action, may contribute to stain removal and biofilm disruption
