What's inside

Laureth-4

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

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Skin irritation, eye irritation, potential mild sensitization on prolonged or repeated exposure

Lauryl Lactate

Ultra-processed synthetic ester, limited human dietary safety data, potential mild irritation at high concentrations

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.
