Mineral Oil

Potential skin pore occlusion causing folliculitis in sensitive individuals, contamination risk if low purity, non-biodegradable environmental persistence

Polycaprolactone

Potential inhalation of combustion products if burnt, limited data on inhalation toxicity during candle burning, synthetic polymer concerns

Non-toxic Carbon Black

Respiratory irritation if inhaled as dust or fumes, potential long-term inhalation risks, environmental particulate concerns

Antioxidant polymer stabilizer

Potential respiratory irritation if inhaled during processing, unknown toxicity depending on chemical, possible skin irritation, not intended for consumption

Medical-Grade Silicone

Biocompatible, chemically inert, durable, flexible, non-toxic in intended uses

Polylactic Acid

Polyvinyl Alcohol

Film-forming agent, stabilizes formulations, water-soluble, biocompatible

Polyethylene Glycol

Good solvent and solubilizing agent, humectant properties, generally low toxicity, enhances cleaning efficacy
