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

Fragrance (Parfum)

Sensitization and allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, lack of transparency in composition

Palmitic Acid

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

Carrageenan

Potential gastrointestinal irritation, possible inflammation-like effects in some studies, sensitization in rare cases

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis

Hexyl Cinnamal

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, eye irritation, potential respiratory sensitization

Limonene

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

Linalool

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

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

Acidity regulation, preservation, flavor enhancement

Sodium Chloride

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

Sodium Benzoate

Effective preservative at low concentrations, extends shelf life by preventing microbial contamination

Stearic Acid

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier, moisturizer, skin conditioning agent

Glycol Distearate

Improves texture and appearance of formulations, enhances moisturization, provides pearlescent effect

Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Juice

Hydration, provides antioxidants, vitamins (such as vitamin C and K), soothing to skin when used topically

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Antioxidant properties, potential antibacterial effects, antioxidant skin protection

Lauric Acid

Antimicrobial properties, contributes to product stability and texture, source of medium-chain triglycerides

Yellow 5 (CI 19140)

Provides vibrant yellow color in food and products

Blue 1 (CI 42090)

Coloring agent providing blue hue

WATER\AQUA\EAU

Hydration, solvent for nutrients and compounds

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

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

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate

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

Glycerin

Humectant properties, moisture retention, solvent for active ingredients

Organic Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum

Biodegradable, natural thickener, enhances product texture and stability

Sodium Gluconate

Effective chelating agent, biodegradability, enhances cleaning efficiency by binding metal ions, low toxicity

Phenoxyethanol

Effective broad-spectrum preservative, low volatility, less sensitizing than isothiazolinones
