What's inside

Titanium Dioxide

Inhalation toxicity when airborne nanoparticles are inhaled, potential respiratory irritant, classified as possibly carcinogenic by inhalation (IARC Group 2B), limited ingestion toxicity at typical dietary levels, concerns about nanoparticle absorption and accumulation

Undecane

Potential for toxicity at high doses, not intended for consumption, possible contaminants, limited safety data in foods

Tridecane

Potential toxicity at high exposures, may act as a respiratory irritant, possible presence as a contaminant, no nutritional value

Aluminum Hydroxide

Potential for localized irritation, contamination with aluminum ions which may accumulate in the body at high exposure, regulatory restrictions in food additive use in some regions

Sea Water

Excess sodium intake, dehydration risk, possible heavy metals, potential microbial contamination, not intended for drinking

C9-12 Alkane

Potential skin irritation, respiratory irritation if inhaled, not approved for food consumption, possible toxicity if ingested

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Potential skin irritation or sensitization in some individuals, limited toxicity data

Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate

Ultra-processed, potential for gut microbiome disruption, limited safety data for long-term oral consumption

Diisostearyl Malate

Potential skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not intended for ingestion

Synthetic Wax

Ultra-processed, potential intestinal irritation, possible accumulation in the body, no nutritional value

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Lack of safety data, potential for allergic reactions, unknown long-term effects

CI 77120 / Barium Sulfate

Respiratory irritation if inhaled as fine powder, possible contamination with toxic barium compounds if improperly processed

Alumina

Potential accumulation if consumed in excess, possible contamination with soluble aluminum compounds, overexposure risk in occupational settings

Potassium sorbate

Irritation to skin and eyes at high concentrations, potential sensitizer in rare cases, possible degradation forming harmful byproducts under improper storage

Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine

Improves emulsion stability, conditions skin

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Provides emollient properties, improves spreadability and texture in formulations

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Acts as an effective emulsifier and viscosity modifier, improves product texture and stability
