What's inside

Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS)

Not approved as a direct food additive (not GRAS), mucosal and gastrointestinal irritation, epithelial cytotoxicity, membrane disruption and increased intestinal permeability, hemolysis at sufficient concentrations, potential gut microbiome disruption, skin and eye irritant

Cyclopentasiloxane

Not approved for ingestion, potential bioaccumulation, environmental concerns, possible endocrine disruption

Caprylyl Methicone

Not approved for food use, lack of safety data for ingestion, potential for bioaccumulation

PEG-100 Stearate

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

PEG-8 Laurate

Ultra-processed emulsifier, potential gut microbiome disruption (class effect), may increase intestinal permeability and low-grade inflammation (animal and small human data with other emulsifiers), potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane or ethylene oxide (ethoxylation by-products), rare hypersensitivity to PEGs, limited human data for chronic dietary intake

Methylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible estrogenic effects, allergenic reactions in sensitive individuals, bioaccumulation concern

Ethylparaben

Hormonal disruption, allergenic potential, potential irritation, environmental impact

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Potential skin irritation in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

Possible skin irritation, contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, synthetic polymer with potential environmental persistence

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer

Potential skin irritation, environmental persistence, not approved for ingestion

Caprylyl Glycol Phenoxyethanol

Skin irritation, allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, potential toxicity at high concentrations

Triethanolamine

Skin irritation, allergic reactions, potential nitrosamine formation with secondary amines, respiratory irritation on inhalation of aerosols

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate

Potential skin irritation or allergic reaction (topical use), unknown oral safety, no established dietary benefits

Xanthan Gum

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

Calcium Disodium EDTA

Potential minor irritation, possible contamination with impurities in poorly purified forms

Natural Silica

Prevents clumping in powdered foods, improves texture, inert and non-toxic in typical food use

Trisiloxane

Improves spreadability in cosmetic formulations

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

Film-forming agent, stabilizer, improves texture and durability of product formulations

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate

Provides antioxidant protection, UV filtering properties that protect formulations from photo-degradation

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsification, stabilizing oil-water mixtures, improving texture of formulations

Mixed-Tocopherols

Antioxidant preservative, protects fats and oils from oxidation, extends shelf life

Panthenol

Moisturizing, improves skin hydration and barrier function

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
