What's inside

Zea Mays (Corn) Oil

High omega-6 content, pro-inflammatory effects, oxidative instability, potential negative impact on cardiovascular health when consumed excessively

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

Irritation, sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis

PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate

May contain impurities such as 1,4-dioxane (a possible carcinogen), ultra-processed, limited data on oral safety, potential for gut microbiome disruption, possible skin irritation in topical use

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential allergic reactions

Disodium EDTA

Irritation potential in high concentrations, possible environmental persistence

Xanthan Gum

Improves texture and stability of products, enhances viscosity

Ceramide NP

Supports skin barrier function, may improve skin hydration

Calcium Gluconate

Supports bone health, aids nerve and muscle function, helps treat hypocalcemia

Sodium Chloride

Naturally occurring, inexpensive, biodegradable, helps adjust viscosity

Sodium Benzoate

Preserves food and beverage freshness, inhibits microbial growth

Cholesterol

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Enhances skin hydration due to improved penetration, supports skin moisture retention

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

Preservative booster enhancing antimicrobial efficacy, skin-conditioning agent

Water

Hydration, solvent for ingredients, essential for life

Glycerin

Humectant that helps retain moisture, improves texture

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Mild surfactant, good foaming properties, biodegradable, less irritating than traditional sulfates

Niacinamide

Supports cellular energy production, improves skin barrier function, reduces signs of skin aging

Gluconolactone

Exfoliation by gentle keratolysis, skin hydration due to humectant properties

Ceramide AP

Skin barrier repair, moisture retention, supports skin hydration

Ceramide EOP

Improves skin barrier function, reduces transepidermal water loss, increases skin hydration, supports management of atopic dermatitis/xerosis

Carbomer

Effective thickening and stabilizing agent, improves texture and shelf stability of formulations

Salicylic Acid

Antimicrobial properties, keratolytic/exfoliating action, may contribute to stain removal and biofilm disruption

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild surfactant, good emulsifying properties, biodegradable, generally safe for dermal use

Cholecalciferol

Supports bone health, calcium absorption, and immune function

Phenoxyethanol

Effective broad-spectrum preservative, relatively low sensitization rates compared to other preservatives, stability in formulations

Tetrasodium EDTA

Improves product stability, enhances cleaning efficiency by sequestering metal ions, prevents discoloration and degradation
