What's inside

Xylitol

Gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, diarrhea) at high intake, toxic to dogs if ingested

Isostearyl Hydroxystearate

Potential skin irritation, limited safety data, stability concerns

Sh-Polypeptide-50

Limited safety data, potential allergic reactions, lack of long-term studies

Lauryl Alcohol (Dodecan-1-ol)

Skin and eye irritation (contact), possible GI upset at high doses, ultra-processed synthetic additive, minimal nutritional value

Isostearyl Alcohol

Skin irritation in sensitive individuals, potential allergen

Potassium sorbate

Irritant at high concentrations, possible sensitizer in topical use, mild mucous membrane irritation

Brassica Alcohol

Brassica alcohol is not a standard food ingredient name and is not recognized by major food science or regulatory bodies. The term might refer to compounds or extracts derived from Brassica vegetables (such as cabbage, broccoli, or Brussels sprouts), but in food labeling and scientific literature, there is currently no established definition for 'Brassica alcohol.' It could also represent a mislabeling or confusion with phytochemicals or fatty alcohols found in the Brassica genus, but no credible peer-reviewed data exists specifically on this term as a food additive or ingredient.

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.

Sh-Polypeptide-121

Potential skin repair, anti-aging, collagen synthesis stimulation

Myristyl Alcohol

Mild irritation with excessive exposure, rare allergic reactions, limited toxicological data for dietary intake

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.

Citric acid

Preservative properties, pH regulation, enhances flavor

Saccharomyces Sugarcane Juice Extract Ferment Extract

May provide antioxidant, moisturizing, or skin conditioning properties in topical applications

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Emollient properties in skin care, source of essential fatty acids in diet

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride

Easily absorbed and metabolized for energy, may support weight control, potential cognitive health benefits

Cetyl Alcohol

Emollient, conditions skin, improves texture and stability of formulations

Sorbitan Olivate

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

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Thickening agent, stabilizer, helps suspend particles in formulations

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Joint health support, skin hydration, mild anti-inflammatory effects

Lecithin

Emulsifier aids texture and stability in foods, may support lipid metabolism

1,2-Hexanediol

Humectant properties, antimicrobial preservative activity

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Improves product stability by sequestering metal ions, enhances preservative effectiveness

Propanediol

Biobased solvent, humectant, enhances preservative efficacy, biodegradable, low toxicity

Dimethicone

Reduces foam, provides skin conditioning, improves spreadability, chemically inert

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Enhanced skin hydration, improved moisture retention, skin barrier support

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract

Antimicrobial, antioxidant, flavoring agent, may support respiratory and digestive health

Tocopherol

Antioxidant, protects lipids from oxidation, supports product stability

Cetyl Palmitate

Emollient, texture enhancer, thickening agent in topical formulations

Sorbitan Palmitate

Emulsifier, stabilizes oil-water mixtures, improves texture and shelf life

Caprylic Acid

Antimicrobial, biodegradable, surfactant properties, natural occurrence

Stearyl Alcohol

Emollient, thickening agent, stabilizes emulsions

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Antimicrobial preservative alternative, chelating agent improving product stability
