What's inside

Titanium Dioxide

Potential inhalation toxicity as nanoparticle dust, possible carcinogenicity by inhalation, questioned safety in ingestion especially as nanoparticles

Mineral Oil

Potential skin pore occlusion causing folliculitis in sensitive individuals, contamination risk if low purity, non-biodegradable environmental persistence

Methylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible estrogenic effects, allergenic reactions in sensitive individuals, bioaccumulation concern

Fragrance

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory irritation, potential asthma exacerbation, phototoxicity, regulatory restrictions on certain fragrance components

Propylparaben

Potential endocrine disruption, possible hormone mimicry, linked to reproductive toxicity in animal models

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Skin sensitization, allergic contact dermatitis

Triethanolamine

Skin irritation, allergic reactions, potential nitrosamine formation with secondary amines, respiratory irritation on inhalation of aerosols

Disodium EDTA

Potential skin irritation and sensitization with topical use, environmental persistence, potential accumulation in organisms

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.

Allantoin

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

Stearic Acid

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier, skin conditioning agent, helps blend oil and water phases

Cetyl Alcohol

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVB radiation absorption, protects skin from UV damage

Dimethicone

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

Effective UVA protection in topical sunscreen formulations

Glutamic Acid

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

Sodium PCA

Moisture retention, skin hydration (cosmetic use only)

Tocopheryl Acetate

Antioxidant properties, skin conditioning, vitamin E source

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Antioxidant, supports collagen synthesis, skin conditioning

Pyridoxine HCl

Supports energy metabolism, essential for neurotransmitter synthesis, promotes immune system health, reduces risk of B6 deficiency
