What's inside

1-Naphthol

Toxicity, skin irritation, respiratory irritation, potential carcinogen, harmful if ingested or inhaled

Titanium Dioxide

Potential carcinogenicity via inhalation exposure, possible nanoparticle toxicity, classified as a possible carcinogen by IARC when inhaled, regulatory restrictions in food use in some jurisdictions

Resorcinol

Skin irritation and sensitization, potential thyroid disruption at high exposure, possible systemic toxicity if ingested or absorbed in large amounts

m-Aminophenol

Irritation and sensitization potential, possible toxicity with ingestion or dermal exposure, regulatory restrictions in cosmetic use

Hydrogen Peroxide

Irritation to skin and mucous membranes, potential for chemical burns at high concentration, toxicity if ingested

Sodium Stannate

Potential toxicity, not approved as food additive, possible heavy metal exposure

Fragrance

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential allergenicity, IFRA restrictions

Sodium Sulfite

Irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals, potential allergen, exacerbation of asthma symptoms, processing chemical residues

2-methylresorcinol

Skin sensitization, allergic reactions, potential toxicity with prolonged exposure, not safe for ingestion

PPG-5-Ceteth-10 Phosphate

Ultra-processed, possible skin irritation, possible cytotoxicity, insufficient food safety data

Hexyl Cinnamal

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, mild skin irritation, potential respiratory irritation

Linalool

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, mild skin irritation, possible respiratory sensitization in susceptible individuals

Propylene Glycol

Skin irritation and sensitization in some individuals, potential for mild toxicity if ingested in large amounts

2-Methoxymethyl-P-Phenylenediamine

Allergic contact dermatitis, skin sensitization, potential carcinogenicity concerns with aromatic amines, respiratory irritation

Dicetyl Phosphate

May cause mild digestive irritation, limited toxicity data, potential allergic reactions in sensitive individuals

Steareth-200

Skin irritation in sensitive individuals, possible contamination with impurities (ethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane) if impure

Disodium EDTA

Potential mild skin irritation, environmental persistence, limited oral bioavailability

Phosphoric Acid

Irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation, potential dental enamel erosion with excessive ingestion

Disodium Phosphate

Excessive dietary phosphate intake may contribute to kidney burden and cardiovascular risk in susceptible populations

Magnesium Nitrate

Eye irritation, respiratory irritation if inhaled as dust, oxidizing agent risk, ingestion toxicity at high doses

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Potential for skin irritation in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Potassium sorbate

Irritation and sensitization potential, especially with prolonged or high-concentration dermal contact

Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate

Improves product texture, enhances emulsion stability

Bis-Hydroxy/Methoxy Amodimethicone

Improves hair smoothness, reduces static and frizz, enhances shine

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Cetyl Alcohol

Emollient, conditions skin, improves texture and stability of formulations

Methylchloroisothiazolinone

Effective antimicrobial preservative

Magnesium Chloride

Used as a coagulant in food production, supports texture and firmness

Methylisothiazolinone

Effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative

Cetearyl Alcohol

Skin conditioning agent, stabilizes emulsions, enhances texture

Tocopheryl Acetate

Antioxidant properties, skin conditioning, vitamin E source

Paraffinum Liquidum

Emollient properties, forms a barrier to reduce water loss, inexpensive and stable

Salicylic Acid

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

Disodium Pyrophosphate

Maintains color stability, acts as a leavening and emulsifying agent, improves texture in processed foods

Etidronic Acid

Effective chelating agent, prevents scale and improves cleaning efficiency

Stearyl Alcohol

Emollient, thickening agent, stabilizes emulsions

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Acts as a detangling and conditioning agent in hair care formulations, provides antistatic properties

Glutamic Acid

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

Histidine

Supports protein synthesis, precursor to histamine, involved in growth and repair

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Provides stable cooking fat due to saturated fat content, contains medium-chain triglycerides that are rapidly metabolized

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Skin hydration, soothing effect, commonly used in topical skin care

Ethanolamine

Effective pH adjuster, good degreasing and surfactant properties, enhances cleaning performance
