What's inside

Titanium Dioxide

Inhalation toxicity potential, possible carcinogenicity via inhalation (IARC Group 2B), consumption safety at low levels debated, regulatory restrictions in some regions

BHT

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

Paraffin

Irritant potential for skin and eyes upon prolonged contact, contamination risk with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in low-grade grades, inhalation toxicity concerns with combustion byproducts

Ozokerite

Irritation on skin contact especially in sensitive individuals, potential contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), possible inhalation risk as dust

Aluminum Hydroxide

Potential for localized irritation, contamination with aluminum ions which may accumulate in the body at high exposure, regulatory restrictions in food additive use in some regions

Triethoxycaprylylsilane (Octyltriethoxysilane)

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

Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate

Potential skin irritation on sensitive skin, limited inhalation toxicity data, possible bioaccumulation concerns in the environment

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

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

Xanthan Gum

Possible mild gastrointestinal irritation at high intake, rare allergic hypersensitivity

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Ceramide 1

Supports skin barrier function, enhances skin hydration, may improve skin repair

Isostearic Acid

Emollient properties, improves skin texture, stabilizes formulations

Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera)

Provides natural thickening and stabilizing properties, moisture barrier in formulations, plant-based alternative to beeswax

Cetyl Alcohol

Emollient, conditions skin, improves texture and stability of formulations

Cholesterol

Essential for cell membrane structure, precursor for steroid hormone synthesis, bile acid production

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

Zinc oxide

Effective broad-spectrum UV protection, antimicrobial properties, supports skin barrier function

Butyloctyl Salicylate

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

Beeswax

Emollient properties, natural thickener, protective barrier, stabilizes formulations

Polyethylene

Durable, chemically inert, widely used in packaging and containers

Ceramide 6 II

Supports skin barrier function, aids moisture retention, improves skin hydration and texture

Sodium Hyaluronate

Hydration, skin barrier support, joint lubrication

Stearic Acid

Emulsifier, thickening agent, improves texture and stability

Carbomer

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

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

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

Dimethicone

Skin conditioning, forms protective barrier, reduces irritation from other ingredients, non-toxic, non-comedogenic

Ceramide 1/Ceramide 3

Helps restore skin barrier, improves skin hydration, reduces dryness, supports skin repair
