Potential contamination with impurities during processing, not food safe, petroleum-derived, possible skin irritation with topical use

Steareth-2

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane, mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not assessed for food use, environmental concerns

Aluminum Stearates

Potential neurotoxic effects with excessive intake, aluminum accumulation risk, potential kidney burden

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals, rare sensitization

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene

Limited long-term safety data, potential skin irritation, environmental concerns

Steareth-20

Skin irritation, potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane

Alumina

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

Xanthan Gum

Possible gastrointestinal discomfort in large amounts, rare allergy or sensitivity, minor irritation in sensitive individuals
