What's inside

Phytosteryl Canola Glycerides

Inflammatory effects from canola seed oil, potential GMO origin, omega-6 fatty acid imbalance

Linoleic Acid

High omega-6 fatty acid content associated with oxidative instability and potential pro-inflammatory effects at excessive intakes

Polysorbate 60

Potential skin and eye irritation, possible contamination with 1,4-dioxane from manufacturing, digestive discomfort at high oral doses, minor sensitization risk

Sodium Hydroxide

Corrosive at high concentrations, skin and eye irritant, ingestion toxicity if misused

PPG-2 Isoceteth-20 Acetate

Skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential allergen, incomplete safety data for inhalation or ingestion

Triethanolamine

Skin irritation, allergic reactions, potential nitrosamine formation with secondary amines, respiratory irritation on inhalation of aerosols

L-Aspartic Acid

Protein synthesis support, amino acid metabolism, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis

Zinc PCA

Antimicrobial, reduces sebum production, helps manage acne-prone skin, regulates skin microbiome

Allantoin

Skin soothing, promotes wound healing, moisturizes skin, non-irritating

Sodium Chloride

Inexpensive filler, non-toxic, biodegradable, helps modify solution properties

Citric acid
