What's inside

C15-19 Alkane

Potential contamination with impurities during processing, not food safe, petroleum-derived, possible skin irritation with topical use

Xylitol

Gastrointestinal discomfort and laxative effect at high doses, extremely toxic to dogs if ingested

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

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.
