What's inside

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals, rare sensitization

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 80

Irritant potential, possible intestinal barrier effects at high doses, minimal endocrine disruption evidence

PEG-100 Stearate

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing, possible mild gut irritation, synthetic origin, ultra-processed

Disodium EDTA

Potential mild skin irritation, environmental persistence, limited oral bioavailability

Xanthan Gum

Minor gastrointestinal intolerance in high amounts, possible allergen for sensitive individuals

PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals, possible contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing, environmental concerns related to PEG compounds

Dipotassium Phosphate

Provides potassium and phosphate electrolytes, stabilizes pH in formulations

Glycerin

Moisture retention, texture improvement

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Emollient, skin-conditioning, enhances product texture and absorption

Cetyl Alcohol

Emollient, conditions skin, improves texture and stability of formulations

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Emulsifying agent improving texture and stability in formulations, biodegradable and derived from natural fatty acids

Potassium Phosphate Dibasic

Provides essential potassium and phosphate ions, helps maintain acid-base balance

Ceramide NP

Supports skin barrier function, may improve skin hydration

Phytosphingosine

Supports skin barrier function, antimicrobial against Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, anti-inflammatory signaling (NF-kB/MAPK modulation), may aid acne-prone or compromised skin

Cholesterol

Essential for cell membrane integrity, precursor for steroid hormones and bile acids

Hydroxyacetophenone
