What's inside

Titanium Dioxide

Potential inhalation toxicity as a nanoparticle, possible carcinogenicity by inhalation in occupational settings, ingestion safety under evaluation by regulatory bodies

Linoleic Acid

High omega-6, oxidation instability, excessive intake associated with weight gain

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not approved for food use, potential skin or eye irritation, may contain residual ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane contaminants

PEG-100 Stearate

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing, possible mild gut irritation, synthetic origin, ultra-processed

Steareth-2

Potential contamination with ethylene oxide or 1,4-dioxane, mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals, not assessed for food use, environmental concerns

Polysorbate 20

Mild skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals, rare sensitization

Ceresin

Potential for bioaccumulation, petroleum origin, no nutritional value

Glycol Palmitate

Potential skin irritation in sensitive individuals, limited data on ingestion safety

Ethyl Lactyl Retinoate

Skin irritation, photosensitivity, potential allergic reactions with topical use

Disodium EDTA

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

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.
