What's inside

Polymethyl Methacrylate

Not intended for ingestion, potential toxicity if ingested, chemical contamination, not GRAS for food use

BHT

Potential for irritation, possible endocrine disruption seen in animal studies, concerns over long-term toxicity though human evidence is limited

Methylisothiazolinone

Contact allergy, skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, high patch test positivity, respiratory irritation at high exposure

PEG-8

Potential for contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, skin irritation in sensitive individuals

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

Potential skin or mucosal irritation in sensitive individuals, limited evidence for food safety, ultra-processed

Triethoxycaprylylsilane (Octyltriethoxysilane)

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

Polysorbate 60

Irritation potential on sensitive skin, possible digestive upset at high doses, minor sensitization

Methicone

Potential environmental concerns, possible accumulation in tissues with excessive exposure, uncertainty regarding long-term ingestion safety

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

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

Xanthan Gum

Mild gastrointestinal discomfort at high ingestion doses, potential allergenicity in sensitive individuals

Disodium EDTA

Potential irritant and sensitizer in some individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Alumina

Potential accumulation if consumed in excess, possible contamination with soluble aluminum compounds, overexposure risk in occupational settings

Water

Solvent, diluent, non-toxic, non-irritant, environmentally benign

Silica

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

Potential mild skin irritation, rare allergy risk

Trisiloxane

Improves spreadability in cosmetic formulations

Bisabolol

Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, skin-soothing effects

グリチルリチン酸2K (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate)

Anti-inflammatory, skin-soothing, reduces redness, antioxidant

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emollient and emulsifier improving skin texture and product stability

Benzyl Alcohol

Solvent, antimicrobial preservative, fragrance component

Behenyl Alcohol

Skin conditioning, moisturizing, stabilizes formulations

Stearic Acid

Emulsifying agent, texture stabilizer, surfactant, energy source in diet

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Beeswax

Provides texture and stability in formulations, forms breathable protective barriers, natural and biodegradable

Butylene Glycol

Improves texture and absorption of products, acts as a humectant to retain moisture

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Provides skin and hair conditioning, improves texture and spreadability of formulations

Dimethicone

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Improves product texture and stability, enhances skin feel and adherence

Isohexadecane

Provides lightweight, non-greasy emollient properties, improves texture and spreadability in formulations

Ethylhexylglycerin

Enhances preservative efficacy, deodorizing properties

Polyaminopropyl Biguanide (PAPB)

Effective antimicrobial preservative at low concentrations, broad spectrum against bacteria and fungi

Tocopheryl Acetate

Antioxidant properties, supports skin barrier function

Ascorbic Acid

Antioxidant, preserves freshness and color, supports product stability
