What's inside

Steareth-2

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane, mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not assessed for food use, environmental concerns

Ceteareth-20

Potential for skin irritation and sensitization, possible contamination with carcinogenic 1,4-dioxane during manufacture, concerns related to PEG derivatives including enhanced skin penetration of contaminants

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

Polyacrylic Acid

Potential skin irritation, environmental impact

Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol (2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol, DCBA)

Synthetic antiseptic (not a food nutrient), possible mouth and throat irritation, potential allergic/contact dermatitis, may alter normal oral microbiota with frequent use, limited data for chronic ingestion, environmental aquatic toxicity

Triethanolamine

Skin irritation, allergic reactions, potential nitrosamine formation with secondary amines, respiratory irritation on inhalation of aerosols

Xanthan Gum

Possible minor gastrointestinal discomfort if consumed in large amounts, potential for allergenic sensitization in rare cases
