What's inside

Homosalate

Endocrine disruption potential, skin penetration, possible environmental toxicity, bioaccumulation

Octocrylene

Skin absorption, potential allergen, environmental persistence, potential for generating benzophenone (a potential carcinogen), suspected endocrine disruption, bioaccumulation in aquatic environments

Styrene/acrylates Copolymer

Potential residual styrene monomer exposure (IARC Group 2A carcinogen), potential migration from food-contact coatings, microplastic ingestion with uncertain long-term effects, possible gastrointestinal irritation/inflammation (animal data), environmental persistence

Steareth-100

Synthetic origin, possible contamination with 1,4-dioxane, ultra-processed, limited long-term safety data, potential for skin and eye irritation (in non-food uses)

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Potential aluminum accumulation, possible neurotoxicity with excessive intake, ultra-processed additive, unknown long-term effects

Steareth-2

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane, mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not assessed for food use, environmental concerns

BHT

Potential for irritation, possible endocrine disruption seen in animal studies, concerns over long-term toxicity though human evidence is limited

Capryloyl Glycine

Not approved for food use, insufficient safety data for ingestion, possible allergenic or irritant effects if consumed, unknown long-term health impact in humans

Polyester-7

Possible skin irritation, limited human ingestion data, synthetic polymer exposure concerns

Disodium EDTA

Mild skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals, low potential for eye irritation

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Potential skin irritation

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer

Potential skin irritation, environmental persistence, not approved for ingestion

Trideceth-6 Phosphate

Irritation potential in sensitive individuals, limited data on ingestion safety
