What's inside

PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate

May contain impurities such as 1,4-dioxane (a possible carcinogen), ultra-processed, limited data on oral safety, potential for gut microbiome disruption, possible skin irritation in topical use

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

Synthetic origin, potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane or ethylene oxide residues, possible gastrointestinal irritation, ultra-processed, unknown long-term ingestion effects

Methylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible estrogenic effects, allergenic reactions in sensitive individuals, bioaccumulation concern

Propylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible hormone mimicry, linked to reproductive toxicity in animal models

Propylene Glycol

Skin irritation and sensitization in sensitive individuals, mild toxicity with excessive ingestion

Disodium EDTA

Potential mild skin irritation, environmental persistence, limited oral bioavailability

Xanthan Gum

Rare gastrointestinal discomfort, potential allergen for individuals sensitive to corn or fermentation byproducts
