PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

Synthetic origin, potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane or ethylene oxide residues, possible gastrointestinal irritation, ultra-processed, unknown long-term ingestion effects

Methylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible estrogenic effects, allergenic reactions in sensitive individuals, bioaccumulation concern

Propylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible hormone mimicry, linked to reproductive toxicity in animal models

Propylene Glycol

Irritation to skin and eyes in sensitive individuals, potential allergic sensitization, ingestion toxicity rare but possible in large amounts

Disodium EDTA

Low irritation potential, possible environmental persistence

Xanthan Gum

Mild gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake, potential for allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
