What's inside

Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

Contains trans fats depending on hydrogenation degree, associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, high omega-6 content, potential for oxidation instability, processing involves hexane extraction

Glycine soja (Soybean) Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidative instability, potential endocrine effects due to isoflavones in unrefined forms, possible hexane solvent residues in refined oil

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

Undecylenoyl Glycine

Not approved for food use, unknown effects with ingestion, potential for allergic reactions, lack of safety data for oral consumption

Benzyl Alcohol

Skin irritation, allergic sensitization, potential neurotoxicity in high doses especially in infants

Coumarin

Skin sensitization, allergic reactions, phototoxicity concerns

Hexyl Cinnamal

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

Linalool

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, mild skin irritation at higher concentrations, potential respiratory sensitization

Red 33 (CI 17200)

Irritation potential, sensitization risk, regulatory restrictions in some regions

Sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Highly processed, possible gut microbiome disruption, potential for digestive discomfort, may contribute to ultra-processed food intake

Water

Safe carrier, non-toxic, non-irritating, environmentally benign

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

Preservative that inhibits microbial growth, enhances flavor by acidifying products, aids mineral absorption

Lauric Acid

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

Stearic Acid

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier, moisturizer, skin conditioning agent

Sodium Chloride

Inexpensive viscosity modifier, stabilizes formulations, non-toxic, biodegradable

Capryloyl Glycine

Antimicrobial properties, skin conditioning, may help regulate skin microbiota

Yellow 5 (CI 19140)

Provides vibrant yellow color in food and products

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate

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

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

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

Glycerin

Humectant properties, improves skin hydration, solvent for other ingredients

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter

Moisturizing, skin barrier support, emollient properties

Sodium Benzoate

Effective antimicrobial preservative, inhibits bacteria and fungi growth

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Hair conditioning, improves wet combing, reduces static and frizz

Sodium Gluconate

Effective chelating agent, enhances cleaning efficacy, biodegradable, low toxicity

Limonene

Natural fragrance, pleasant citrus scent, solvent properties aiding in grease removal
