What's inside

Triethoxycaprylylsilane (Octyltriethoxysilane)

Not approved for food use, limited oral safety data, potential skin and eye irritation, synthetic ultra-processed additive, releases ethanol on hydrolysis

Aluminum Stearates

Potential neurotoxic effects with excessive intake, aluminum accumulation risk, potential kidney burden

Aluminum Hydroxide

Potential for localized irritation, contamination with aluminum ions which may accumulate in the body at high exposure, regulatory restrictions in food additive use in some regions

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential for contamination with harmful impurities during manufacturing, limited safety data for ingestion

Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Potential for migration of residual monomers or additives, chemical exposure if ingested, lacks nutritional value

Triethanolamine

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

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

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

Alumina

Potential accumulation if consumed in excess, possible contamination with soluble aluminum compounds, overexposure risk in occupational settings

Disodium EDTA

Potential irritant and sensitizer in some individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Xanthan Gum

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

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Potential for skin irritation, possible gut irritation if ingested, ultra-processed, limited long-term oral safety data

Water

Universal solvent, essential for hydration and biological functions

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

Not approved for food use, possible skin irritation, potential for systemic absorption, lacks nutritional value

Isononyl Isononanoate

Isononyl Isononanoate is an ester of isononanoic acid and isononyl alcohol. It is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. Though primarily found in skincare formulations, it may occasionally be present in foods in trace amounts as part of cosmetic crossover. It is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics but lacks nutritional value or significant effects in food products.

Triethylhexanoin

Improves product texture, enhances dermal absorption

Silica

Inhalation of fine silica dust can cause respiratory irritation and silicosis; typical dietary exposure low risk

Citric acid

Acidity regulation, preservation, flavor enhancement

Dicaprylyl Carbonate (di-n-octyl carbonate)

Skin conditioning, enhances spreadability and texture in formulations

Stearic Acid

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

Ceramide NP

Supports skin barrier function, may improve skin hydration

Cetearyl Alcohol

Emollient properties, improves texture and stability of formulations

Cholesterol

Essential for cell membrane structure, precursor for steroid hormone synthesis, bile acid production

P-Anisic Acid

Provides aromatic fragrance, used as flavoring and scent additive

Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate

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

Isohexadecane

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

Improves skin hydration and texture, enhances spreadability of formulations

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifying agent, enhances formulation stability and texture, biodegradable

Ceramide AP

Skin barrier repair, moisture retention, supports skin hydration
