What's inside

Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

Contains trans fats depending on hydrogenation degree, associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, high omega-6 content, potential for oxidation instability, processing involves hexane extraction

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides

Potential trans fat formation, increased risk of cardiovascular disease with regular intake, raises LDL cholesterol, ultra-processed

Yellow 5 (Tartrazine)

Irritant/sensitizer, possible allergenicity, hyperactivity in susceptible children

Parfum / Fragrance

Allergic reactions, skin irritation, respiratory sensitization, potential endocrine disruptors, ultra-processed chemical mixture, lack of ingredient transparency

Palmitic Acid

High intake associated with elevated LDL cholesterol, potential cardiovascular risk with excessive consumption

Undecylenoyl Glycine

Not approved for food use, unknown effects with ingestion, potential for allergic reactions, lack of safety data for oral consumption

Benzyl Alcohol

Skin irritation, allergic sensitization, potential neurotoxicity in high doses especially in infants

Hexyl Cinnamal

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

Red 33 (CI 17200)

Irritation potential, sensitization risk, regulatory restrictions in some regions

Sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Highly processed, possible gut microbiome disruption, potential for digestive discomfort, may contribute to ultra-processed food intake

Hydroxystearic Acid

A hydroxy-substituted C18 saturated fatty acid (most commonly 12-hydroxystearic acid), typically produced from castor/oleic acid derivatives. It is widely used as a rheology modifier, gellant, and emulsifying aid in cosmetics and industrial formulations; it is not commonly used as a direct food ingredient, though related hydroxy fatty acid derivatives (e.g., from castor oil) are present in some approved additives. Available toxicology and cosmetic safety assessments indicate low acute toxicity and low sensitization potential. If ingested, hydroxy fatty acids are expected to be metabolized via standard fatty-acid β-oxidation pathways.

Sodium Chloride (Salt)

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance

Lauric Acid

Antimicrobial properties, contributes to product stability and texture, source of medium-chain triglycerides

Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Conditioning agent, improves hair detangling and softness

Capryloyl Glycine

Antimicrobial properties, skin conditioning, may help regulate skin microbiota

Sodium Gluconate

Chelating agent improves stability of metal ions, prevents discoloration and spoilage, enhances product shelf-life

Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate

Mild cleansing agent, good foaming properties, generally considered gentle on skin

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate

Mild cleansing agent, good foaming properties, generally well-tolerated relative to harsher surfactants

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Mild surfactant, good foaming and cleansing properties, reduces irritation of harsher surfactants

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsification, stabilizing oil-water mixtures, improving texture of formulations

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter

Moisturizing, skin barrier support, emollient properties

Sodium Benzoate

Effective antimicrobial preservative, inhibits bacteria and fungi growth

Limonene

Natural fragrance, pleasant citrus scent, solvent properties aiding in grease removal
