What's inside

Dimethyl Capramide

Potential toxicity, skin and eye irritation, lack of safety data for ingestion, possible environmental harms

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

Homosalate

Endocrine disruption potential, skin penetration, possible environmental toxicity, bioaccumulation

Octocrylene

Skin absorption, potential allergen, environmental persistence, potential for generating benzophenone (a potential carcinogen), suspected endocrine disruption, bioaccumulation in aquatic environments

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

Potential residual styrene monomer exposure (IARC Group 2A carcinogen), potential migration from food-contact coatings, microplastic ingestion with uncertain long-term effects, possible gastrointestinal irritation/inflammation (animal data), environmental persistence

VP/Hexadecene Copolymer

Not approved for food use or GRAS, limited oral safety data, potential residual monomer impurities (N‑vinyl‑2‑pyrrolidone), synthetic polymer/microplastic exposure, environmental persistence

Caprylyl Methicone

Not approved for food use, lack of safety data for ingestion, potential for bioaccumulation

PEG-100 Stearate

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing, possible mild gut irritation, synthetic origin, ultra-processed

Fragrance

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential asthma exacerbation, eye irritation

Polyester-8

Potential skin irritation, unknown long-term health effects, no ingestion safety data

Trideceth-6 Phosphate

Irritation potential in sensitive individuals, limited data on ingestion safety

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Xanthan Gum

Rare allergenic reactions, possible gastrointestinal discomfort in large amounts, potential contamination if improperly processed

Disodium EDTA

Minimal irritant risk at typical use, potential environmental persistence

Octisalate

UVB protection, stabilizes other sunscreen agents

Water

Hydration, solvent, carrier

Hydrated Silica

Effective mild abrasive for stain removal, anti-caking agent, chemically stable and non-toxic at typical use concentrations

Glyceryl Stearate

Emollient and emulsifier improving skin texture and product stability

Behenyl Alcohol

Skin conditioning, moisturizing, stabilizes formulations

Avobenzone

Effective UVA protection in sunscreen formulations

Butyloctyl Salicylate

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

Ethylhexyl Stearate (2-ethylhexyl stearate, Octyl stearate)

Skin conditioning, improves spreadability of formulations

Sodium Polyacrylate

Effective thickener, improves product texture and consistency, superabsorbent properties

Ethylhexylglycerin

Enhances preservative efficacy, deodorizing properties

Tocopheryl Acetate

Antioxidant properties, supports skin barrier function

Dimethicone

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

Polyaminopropyl Biguanide (PAPB)

Effective antimicrobial preservative, low toxicity compared to traditional biocides, stable in formulations
