Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential triggering of asthma, possible presence of allergens and irritants, IFRA restrictions on some components

Linalool

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, mild skin irritation, potential respiratory sensitization

Red 33

Potential for allergic reactions, may cause skin irritation, possible contamination with impurities, limited toxicity data for oral exposure, ultra-processed

Guar gum

May cause gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, potential for contamination from pesticide residues if not properly processed

Sodium Chloride

Non-toxic, inexpensive filler, stabilizes formulation viscosity

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.
