What's inside

Linoleic Acid

High omega-6, oxidation instability, excessive intake associated with weight gain

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Not approved for food use, lack of safety data for ingestion, potential for digestive disturbance if ingested, unknown long-term health effects

Arachidyl Glucoside

Potential skin or mucosal irritation in sensitive individuals, limited evidence for food safety, ultra-processed

Cetearyl Glucoside

Not approved for food use, potential allergen if ingested, lack of safety data for oral consumption

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Not intended for ingestion, ultra-processed synthetic hydrocarbon, potential aspiration hazard if swallowed, possible tissue accumulation concerns extrapolated from mineral oil hydrocarbons, possible gastrointestinal discomfort
