What's inside

Sodium Hydroxide

Severe skin irritation, chemical burns, eye damage, respiratory irritation upon inhalation of dust or aerosols

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Not approved for food use/Not GRAS, ultra-processed synthetic polymer, potential residual acrylic acid monomer or impurities, limited human oral exposure data

Water

Universal solvent, supports hydration and formulation stability

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl olivate is an emulsifying agent derived from the esterification of cetearyl alcohol (a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols) with the fatty acids of olive oil. It is commonly used in cosmetics, personal care, and some processed food products to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. While primarily used for topical applications, its food-grade variant is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in regulated amounts.

Sodium Chloride

Thickening agent, viscosity control, inexpensive and widely available

Citric acid

Maintains product acidity and stability, enhances flavor, acts as preservative by inhibiting microbial growth

Allantoin

Skin soothing, promotes wound healing, moisturizes skin, non-irritating

Sorbitan Olivate

Emulsifying agent, improves texture and stability of formulations, derived from natural sources
