What's inside

Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate

Not intended for ingestion, possible mucosal or gastrointestinal irritation if ingested, synthetic and industrial, potential allergen when used topically

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides

Potential trans fat formation, increased risk of cardiovascular disease with regular intake, raises LDL cholesterol, ultra-processed

Blue 1

Potential for allergic reactions and hypersensitivity in sensitive individuals, possible behavioral effects in children, regulatory restrictions in some countries

Yellow 5

Irritant/sensitizer potential, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria and asthma, possible behavioral effects in sensitive children, regulatory limits on use concentration

Fragrance

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

Palmitic Acid

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

PPG-9

Not intended for ingestion, potential for skin irritation, possible endocrine disruption, lack of food safety data

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis

Benzyl Salicylate

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

Limonene

Skin and respiratory irritant, potential sensitizer, oxidation instability leading to degradation products

Red 33

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

Water

Hydration, solvent for ingredients, supports biochemical reactions

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.

Citric acid

Enhances flavor by providing sourness, acts as a preservative by chelating metals, stabilizes pH

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative that prevents microbial spoilage and extends shelf life

Sodium Chloride

Increases viscosity, improves product stability, non-toxic, widely available and biodegradable

Stearic Acid

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

Coumarin

Fragrance and flavor agent providing sweet, vanilla-like aroma

Linalool

Provides floral and citrus scent characteristics in fragrances and flavors

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Mild surfactant, good foaming and cleansing properties, reduces irritation of harsher surfactants

Glycerin

Moisture retention, skin hydration, solvent and texture enhancer

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Effective cleansing and foaming agent

Cocamide MEA

Foaming agent, emulsifier, thickening agent in cosmetics and personal care products

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate

Mild cleansing agent, good foaming properties, generally well-tolerated relative to harsher surfactants
