What's inside

Hydrogenated Soybean Oil

High in trans-fatty acids if partially hydrogenated, associated with cardiovascular disease risk, PUFA dominant oil with oxidation instability potential

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

Fragrance

Skin irritation, respiratory irritation, allergic sensitization, contact dermatitis, potential asthma exacerbation, some components may be allergens or toxicants

Undecylenoyl Glycine

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

Capryloyl Glycine

Not approved for food use, insufficient safety data for ingestion, possible allergenic or irritant effects if consumed, unknown long-term health impact in humans

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Skin sensitization, allergic reactions, possible eye irritation

Linalool

Skin sensitization, contact allergy, mild skin irritation, potential respiratory sensitization in some individuals

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.

Lauric Acid

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

Hydrated Silica

Effective mild abrasive for stain removal, anti-caking agent, chemically stable and non-toxic at typical use concentrations

Stearic Acid

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

Palmitic Acid

Provides energy as a common dietary saturated fat, used in texture and stability in foods and cosmetics

Glyceryl Stearate

Emollient and emulsifier improving skin texture and product stability

Hexyl Cinnamal

Fragrance component used for scent enhancement

Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510)

Effective blue pigment with high color stability

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate

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

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Hair conditioning, improves wet combing, reduces static and frizz

Benzyl Salicylate

Fragrance component providing floral scent, UV light absorber to improve product stability
