What's inside

CI 16255

Potential hyperactivity in children, allergic reactions, possible carcinogenicity concerns in animal studies

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Parfum

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential for phototoxicity

Polysorbate 60

Potential for mild skin and eye irritation, possible gastrointestinal discomfort with excessive ingestion, concerns about contaminant impurities in poorly purified batches

Palmitic Acid

High intake associated with elevated LDL cholesterol, potential cardiovascular risk with excessive consumption

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis

Hexyl Cinnamal

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, eye irritation, potential respiratory sensitization

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)

Potential skin irritation, possible formation of reactive oxygen species under UV exposure, concerns about inhalation toxicity in spray products

Glycol Stearate

Ultra-processed, potential for digestive discomfort at high intake, lack of nutritional value

Sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Highly processed, possible gut microbiome disruption, potential for digestive discomfort, may contribute to ultra-processed food intake

Disodium EDTA

Potential skin irritation and sensitization with topical use, environmental persistence, potential accumulation in organisms

Caramel

Potential presence of 4-methylimidazole and other heat-induced contaminants at low levels, minor allergy risk

CI 47005

Potential allergic reactions, skin sensitivity, possible hyperactivity in children (as with some synthetic dyes)

Citric acid

Preservative properties, pH balancer, enhances flavor

Maltodextrin

Improves texture and stability in processed foods, serves as a carbohydrate source

Hydroxystearic Acid

A hydroxy-substituted C18 saturated fatty acid (most commonly 12-hydroxystearic acid), typically produced from castor/oleic acid derivatives. It is widely used as a rheology modifier, gellant, and emulsifying aid in cosmetics and industrial formulations; it is not commonly used as a direct food ingredient, though related hydroxy fatty acid derivatives (e.g., from castor oil) are present in some approved additives. Available toxicology and cosmetic safety assessments indicate low acute toxicity and low sensitization potential. If ingested, hydroxy fatty acids are expected to be metabolized via standard fatty-acid β-oxidation pathways.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Emollient, improves skin texture and spreadability of formulations

Stearic Acid

Emulsifying agent, texture stabilizer, surfactant, energy source in diet

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier, skin conditioning agent, helps blend oil and water phases

Caprylyl Glycol

Skin conditioning, antimicrobial preservative booster

Phenoxyethanol

Effective broad-spectrum preservative at low concentrations

Cetyl Alcohol

Emollient, conditions skin, improves texture and stability of formulations

Stearamide AMP

Emulsifying, conditioning, and surfactant properties useful in personal care formulations

Sorbitan Isostearate

Emulsifying agent improving product texture and stability

Sodium Chloride

Safe filler, inexpensive, non-toxic, biodegradable

Sodium Sulfate

Filler, diluent, stabilizes formulations

Benzyl Alcohol

Antimicrobial preservative, solvent for fragrances and active ingredients

Citronellol

Fragrance component providing floral scent

Coumarin

Fragrance and flavor agent providing sweet, vanilla-like aroma

Geraniol

Fragrance component, flavoring agent

Linalool

Provides floral and citrus scent characteristics in fragrances and flavors

Aqua

Widely used as a non-toxic solvent and carrier

Glycerin

Moisturizing agent, skin hydration enhancer, humectant

Dimethicone

Reduces foam, provides skin conditioning, improves spreadability, chemically inert

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Improves product texture and stability

Isohexadecane

Provides lightweight, non-greasy emollient properties, improves texture and spreadability in formulations

Dimethiconol

Provides smooth skin feel, enhances spreadability, forms protective barrier

Limonene

Effective natural solvent, pleasant citrus fragrance, biodegradable
