What's inside

Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS)

Not approved as a direct food additive (not GRAS), mucosal and gastrointestinal irritation, epithelial cytotoxicity, membrane disruption and increased intestinal permeability, hemolysis at sufficient concentrations, potential gut microbiome disruption, skin and eye irritant

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

Potential residual styrene monomer exposure (IARC Group 2A carcinogen), potential migration from food-contact coatings, microplastic ingestion with uncertain long-term effects, possible gastrointestinal irritation/inflammation (animal data), environmental persistence

PEG-100 Stearate

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing, possible mild gut irritation, synthetic origin, ultra-processed

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

Ceteareth-20

Potential for skin irritation and sensitization, possible contamination with carcinogenic 1,4-dioxane during manufacture, concerns related to PEG derivatives including enhanced skin penetration of contaminants

Triethoxycaprylylsilane (Octyltriethoxysilane)

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

Dimethicone Copolyol

Potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence

Propanediol (PDO)

Possible mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential allergen for some people

Sorbitan Stearate (Sorbitan Monostearate; E 491)

Ultra-processed emulsifier, potential microbiome disruption (class effect evidence), gastrointestinal discomfort at high intakes, rare hypersensitivity or contact dermatitis, no nutritional value

Sorbitan Isostearate

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

Caprylyl Glycol Phenoxyethanol

Skin irritation, allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, potential toxicity at high concentrations

Caprylyl Glycol Phenoxyethanol

Skin irritation, allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, potential toxicity at high concentrations

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Potential for skin irritation, possible gut irritation if ingested, ultra-processed, limited long-term oral safety data

Polysorbate 60 (Tween-60)

Possible allergic reactions, mild gastrointestinal disturbances, potential inflammatory effects in high doses

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

Not approved for food use, possible skin irritation, potential for systemic absorption, lacks nutritional value

Xanthan Gum

Improves texture and stability, enhances viscosity in food products

Isododecane

Provides lightweight emollient effect, enhances spreadability and evaporation in formulations

Vegetable Stearic Acid

Used as stabilizer and texture agent, fat source with low PUFA content, contributes to product consistency

Ceramide NP

Supports skin barrier function, may improve skin hydration

Cetearyl Alcohol

Emollient properties, improves texture and stability of formulations

Sodium citrate

Regulates acidity, acts as a buffering agent to maintain pH, enhances flavor stability

Myristic Acid

Emollient properties, texture enhancer in cosmetics, energy source in diet

Cholesterol

Essential for cell membrane structure, precursor for steroid hormones and bile acids

Palmitic Acid

Provides energy as a common dietary saturated fat, used in texture and stability in foods and cosmetics

Phytosphingosine

Supports skin barrier function, antimicrobial against Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, anti-inflammatory signaling (NF-kB/MAPK modulation), may aid acne-prone or compromised skin

Ethylhexylglycerin

Preservative booster enhancing antimicrobial efficacy, skin-conditioning agent

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsification, stabilizing oil-water mixtures, improving texture of formulations

Butyloctyl Salicylate

UV protection as a sunscreen agent, emollient properties enhancing skin feel

Niacinamide

Supports cellular energy production, improves skin barrier function, reduces signs of skin aging

Ceramide AP

Skin barrier repair, moisture retention, supports skin hydration

Ceramide EOP

Improves skin barrier function, reduces transepidermal water loss, increases skin hydration, supports management of atopic dermatitis/xerosis

Carbomer

Effective thickening and stabilizing agent, improves texture and shelf stability of formulations

Dimethiconol

Provides smooth skin feel, enhances spreadability, forms protective barrier

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild surfactant, good emulsifying properties, biodegradable, generally safe for dermal use

Sodium Hyaluronate

Hydration, skin barrier support, joint lubrication

Aluminum Hydroxide

Reduces gastric acidity, used as vaccine adjuvant to enhance immune response

Chlorphenesin

Effective antimicrobial preservative, extends shelf life of personal care products

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Improves product texture and stability, enhances skin feel and adherence

Panthenol

Moisturizing, skin conditioning, enhances hydration and skin barrier function
