What's inside

Titanium Dioxide

Potential inhalation toxicity as nanoparticle dust, possible carcinogenicity by inhalation, questioned safety in ingestion especially as nanoparticles

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

Aluminum Stearates

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

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential for contamination with harmful impurities during manufacturing, limited safety data for ingestion

Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Potential for migration of residual monomers or additives, chemical exposure if ingested, lacks nutritional value

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

Possible skin irritation, contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, synthetic polymer with potential environmental persistence

Alumina

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

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Disodium EDTA

Potential skin irritation and sensitization with topical use, environmental persistence, potential accumulation in organisms
