What's inside

Vegetable Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability, excessive intake associated with weight gain

Vinyl Dimethicone

Not safe for ingestion, potential for bioaccumulation, skin irritation if applied excessively, environmental concerns due to persistence

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Not intended for ingestion, ultra-processed synthetic hydrocarbon, potential aspiration hazard if swallowed, possible tissue accumulation concerns extrapolated from mineral oil hydrocarbons, possible gastrointestinal discomfort

Cetearyl Glucoside

Not approved for food use, potential allergen if ingested, lack of safety data for oral consumption

Xanthan Gum

Mild gastrointestinal discomfort at high ingestion doses, potential allergenicity in sensitive individuals

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.
