What's inside

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization

PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate

May contain impurities such as 1,4-dioxane (a possible carcinogen), ultra-processed, limited data on oral safety, potential for gut microbiome disruption, possible skin irritation in topical use

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

Synthetic origin, potential contamination with 1,4-dioxane or ethylene oxide residues, possible gastrointestinal irritation, ultra-processed, unknown long-term ingestion effects

Methylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible estrogenic effects, allergenic reactions in sensitive individuals, bioaccumulation concern

Propylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible hormone mimicry, linked to reproductive toxicity in animal models

Potassium phosphate

Excessive intake may disrupt electrolyte balance, potential irritant in high concentrations

Calcium Disodium EDTA

Potential minor irritation, possible contamination with impurities in poorly purified forms

Propanediol (PDO)

Possible mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential allergen for some people

Edetate Disodium Anhydrous

Potential for irritation with excessive exposure, may bind essential minerals if ingested in large amounts

Dipotassium Phosphate

Stabilizes pH, acts as an emulsifier and preservative in food processing

Ceramide 1

Supports skin barrier function, enhances skin hydration, may improve skin repair

Cetearyl Alcohol

Emollient properties, improves texture and stability of formulations

Cetyl-stearyl alcohol

Improves texture, emulsion stability, and moisturizer properties

Cetyl Alcohol
