What's inside

BHT

Potential for irritation, possible endocrine disruption seen in animal studies, concerns over long-term toxicity though human evidence is limited

Ceteareth-20

Potential for skin irritation and sensitization, possible contamination with carcinogenic 1,4-dioxane during manufacture, concerns related to PEG derivatives including enhanced skin penetration of contaminants

Polysorbate 60

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

Tromethamine

Synthetic additive, possible allergic reactions, gastrointestinal discomfort, not studied for long-term food use, ultra-processed

Polysorbate 80

Irritation potential at high concentrations, possible hypersensitivity reactions, potential to enhance intestinal permeability in sensitive individuals

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Potential skin irritation, lacks nutritional value, synthetic polymer

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Potential for irritation, lack of evidence for safe dietary use, synthetic polymer with unknown ingestion safety profile

Propylene Glycol

Mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential for rare allergic sensitization, minimal inhalation toxicity at typical use levels

Ethylhexyl Methoxycrylene

Limited long-term safety data, potential skin irritation, environmental concerns

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Potential skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not intended for ingestion, unclear inhalation safety

Xanthan Gum

Rare allergic reactions, possible mild gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake

Potassium sorbate

Irritation potential to skin and eyes, possible sensitization, contamination with sorbic acid degradation products

Water

Essential for hydration and biochemical processes

Sorbitan Stearate

Emulsifier that improves texture and stability of products, aids in mixing oil and water phases

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl olivate is an emulsifying agent derived from the esterification of cetearyl alcohol (a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols) with the fatty acids of olive oil. It is commonly used in cosmetics, personal care, and some processed food products to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. While primarily used for topical applications, its food-grade variant is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in regulated amounts.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent and carrier that enhances ingredient delivery and formulation stability

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate

Moisturizing, skin-conditioning, potential antioxidant properties

Ceramide NP

Supports skin barrier function, may improve skin hydration

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Enhances skin hydration due to improved penetration, supports skin moisture retention

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Joint health support, skin hydration, mild anti-inflammatory effects

Caprylyl Glycol

Skin conditioning, antimicrobial preservative booster

Sorbitan Olivate

Emulsifying agent, improves texture and stability of formulations, derived from natural sources

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Improves product texture, stability, and film-forming properties, enhances moisture retention

1,2-Hexanediol

Antimicrobial preservative booster, solvent properties aiding formulation stability

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Improves product stability by sequestering metal ions, enhances preservative effectiveness

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Emollient, skin-conditioning, enhances product texture and absorption

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Improved oxidative stability compared to regular lecithin, emulsifying properties, skin conditioning

Octyldodecanol

Emollient, improves skin feel, enhances product texture

Butyloctyl Salicylate

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

Acrylates Copolymer

Strong adhesive properties, film forming, water resistant

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Enhanced skin hydration, improved moisture retention, skin barrier support

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Insufficient safety data for oral consumption, possible allergenic reactions, unknown effects with chronic ingestion

Panax ginseng root extract

Improved cognitive performance, reduced fatigue, enhanced immune modulation, potential anti-inflammatory effects

Sorbitan Oleate

Emulsifier, stabilizes formulations, improves texture and consistency

Panthenol

Moisturizing, improves skin hydration and barrier function
