What's inside

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Potential aluminum accumulation, possible neurotoxicity with excessive intake, ultra-processed additive, unknown long-term effects

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Potential for allergic skin reactions, not approved for food use, unknown toxicity profile if ingested

Triethoxycaprylylsilane (Octyltriethoxysilane)

Not approved for food use, limited oral safety data, potential skin and eye irritation, synthetic ultra-processed additive, releases ethanol on hydrolysis

Polyacrylate-13

Possible skin irritation, environmental concerns, synthetic processing

Sorbitan Isostearate

Ultra-processed, possible gut microbiome disruption, limited safety data, potential for mild digestive discomfort

Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer

Potential for skin irritation, environmental persistence, lacks ingestion safety data

Potassium sorbate

Irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization

Disodium EDTA

Potential for minor irritation, possible accumulation with high intake, limited oral toxicity at approved levels

Silica

Inhalation of fine silica dust can cause respiratory irritation and silicosis; typical dietary exposure low risk

Squalane

Moisturizing, emollient, enhances skin barrier, non-irritating, lightweight texture

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl olivate is an emulsifying agent derived from the esterification of cetearyl alcohol (a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols) with the fatty acids of olive oil. It is commonly used in cosmetics, personal care, and some processed food products to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. While primarily used for topical applications, its food-grade variant is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in regulated amounts.
