What's inside

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate

Contains trans fats, cardiovascular disease risk, increased LDL cholesterol, inflammatory effects, environmentally unsustainable sourcing concerns

Laureth-4

Potential skin irritation and sensitization, contamination risk from polyethylene glycol impurities (e.g., 1,4-dioxane), processing byproduct residues

Fragrance

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential allergenicity, IFRA restrictions

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate

Potential skin irritation in sensitive individuals, possible contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing

Heliotropine

Also known as piperonal, heliotropine is a synthetic fragrance compound used in perfumes and flavorings. It is not a food ingredient in itself but a material used for fragrance purposes. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food flavorings by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) at low concentrations. However, exposure primarily occurs through inhalation or topical contact in fragranced products rather than ingestion of pure forms.
