What's inside

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidation instability, potential for rancidity if improperly stored

Glycine soja (Soybean) Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability, potential endocrine effects due to isoflavones in unrefined forms, possible hexane solvent residues in refined oil

Linoleic Acid

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

Folic acid

Excessive intake may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, potential concerns with high supplemental doses and unmetabolized folic acid accumulation

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization

Fragrance

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential allergenicity, IFRA restrictions

Methylpropanediol

Possible gastrointestinal discomfort, limited safety data for dietary exposure, may disrupt gut microbiota in animal studies, synthetic origin

Glycereth-26

Potential for skin irritation or allergic reaction, contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, environmental concerns

Polyacrylate-13

Possible skin irritation, environmental concerns, synthetic processing

Disodium EDTA

Potential irritant and sensitizer in some individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Lack of safety data, potential for allergic reactions, unknown long-term effects

Water

Hydration, solvent in formulations, essential for life

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.
