What's inside

Vegetable Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability, ingestion toxicity at high dietary levels due to PUFA dominance and potential rancidity

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Not intended for ingestion, ultra-processed synthetic hydrocarbon, potential aspiration hazard if swallowed, possible tissue accumulation concerns extrapolated from mineral oil hydrocarbons, possible gastrointestinal discomfort

Cetearyl Glucoside

Not approved for food use, potential allergen if ingested, lack of safety data for oral consumption

Xanthan Gum

Minor gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake, rare allergic reactions

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.
