What's inside

Sodium Hydroxide

Caustic burns, severe skin irritation, eye damage, respiratory tract irritation, corrosive effects

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation at high concentrations, rare sensitization

Xylitol

Gastrointestinal discomfort at high doses, potential laxative effect, toxic to dogs if ingested

PPG-1 Trideceth-6

Potential irritation, contamination risk from ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane residues, mild sensitization possible

PPG-24-Glycereth-24

Potential skin irritation, environmental impact of production, contamination with impurities

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential for contamination with harmful impurities during manufacturing, limited safety data for ingestion

Anhydroxylitol

Low-calorie sweetener, does not increase blood sugar significantly, potential dental health benefits by reducing cavity risk

Zinc PCA

Antimicrobial, reduces sebum production, helps manage acne-prone skin, regulates skin microbiome

Phytic Acid

Antioxidant properties, potential to reduce oxidative damage

Sodium citrate

pH buffering, acidity regulation, emulsification

Glycine

Supports protein synthesis, neurotransmission, and collagen production

Serine

Supports protein synthesis, cellular metabolism, precursor for phospholipids and neurotransmitters

Proline

Supports collagen synthesis, promotes wound healing, may benefit skin and joint health

Glucose

Provides quick energy, supports cellular metabolism

Maltose

Provides a source of energy through glucose, used as a fermentable sugar in food production

Fructose

Provides sweetness improving palatability, source of quick energy

Trehalose

Stabilizes proteins and cell membranes, protects against dehydration and oxidative stress, used as a sugar substitute

Xylitylglucoside

Helps improve skin hydration, supports skin barrier function

Sodium lactate

Humectant properties improve moisture retention, pH buffering, antimicrobial preservative effect

Pentylene Glycol

Humectant, solvent, enhances skin hydration and product texture

Aminomethyl Propanol

pH adjuster to maintain product stability and skin compatibility

P-Anisic Acid

Provides aromatic fragrance, used as flavoring and scent additive

Decyl Glucoside

Mild cleanser, biodegradable, low toxicity, suitable for sensitive skin

Tocopherol

Antioxidant protection, supports skin barrier function, prevents lipid oxidation

Salicylic Acid

Antimicrobial properties, keratolytic/exfoliating action, may contribute to stain removal and biofilm disruption

Saccharide Isomerate

Humectant, enhances skin hydration, derived from natural carbohydrate sources

Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine

L-arginine

Supports nitric oxide production, may aid vascular function and wound healing

L-Threonine

Supports protein synthesis, promotes gut barrier function, supports immune health

Glutamic Acid

Supports neurotransmitter function, involved in protein synthesis, aids in cellular energy production

L-Lysine HCl

Provides essential amino acid lysine, supports protein synthesis and nitrogen balance

Sodium PCA

Moisture retention, skin hydration (cosmetic use only)

Urea

Enhances formulation stability, controls cloud point, improves solubility and humectant properties

Sodium Hyaluronate

Hydration, skin barrier support, joint lubrication

Sphingolipids

May reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption, may lower postprandial endotoxemia (LPS), supports infant neurodevelopment and reduced infections when provided as part of MFGM (RCTs), may support skin barrier hydration with oral glycosylceramides (human trials), potential colon-cancer risk reduction (preclinical models)

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Effective thickener and stabilizer, enhances texture and stability of formulations

Coco Glucoside

Biodegradable, mild surfactant, good foaming and cleansing properties, derived from renewable sources

Phospholipids

Support cell membrane health, may improve lipid metabolism, aid in absorption of nutrients, may have anti-inflammatory properties
