What’s inside
WaterGenerally safe
The base most products are built on. It carries the other ingredients and has no safety concern.
Full ingredient details →GlycerinGenerally safe
A humectant that draws water into the skin. One of the best-studied, best-tolerated ingredients in personal care.
Full ingredient details →Alcohol Denat.Watch if sensitive
A fast-evaporating solvent used to carry actives and give toners a light, "clean" feel; at the concentrations used in classic astringents it can be genuinely drying or irritating with repeated use, especially on dry or compromised skin, though it is not inherently toxic and is a normal, well-studied cosmetic ingredient.
Full ingredient details →PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor OilGenerally safe
A higher-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol ester of hydrogenated castor oil, used as an emulsifier in creams, serums, and other formulations. Like other PEG-modified ingredients, published cosmetic safety assessments grade it as safe in rinse-off and leave-on products.
Full ingredient details →CarrageenanWatch if sensitive
A polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed used to thicken and stabilize formulas. It is well tolerated in topical cosmetics; concerns from food ingestion studies are not directly applicable to cosmetic use. People with seaweed sensitivities should patch test.
Full ingredient details →Citric AcidGenerally safe
Used in tiny amounts to set a product to skin-friendly pH. No concern at those levels.
Full ingredient details →Sodium CitrateGenerally safe
A salt derived from citric acid that buffers pH and prevents metal oxidation in formulas. Widely used in food and cosmetics, it is well tolerated at cosmetic concentrations.
Full ingredient details →CyclodextrinGenerally safe
A cyclic oligosaccharide derived from corn starch that acts as a solubilizer and delivery vehicle for other ingredients. It is chemically inert, well tolerated, and has extensive use in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Full ingredient details →PhenoxyethanolCommonly feared, low concern
A widely used preservative, safe at the legal limit of 1% or less. Often the "paraben-free" replacement.
Full ingredient details →MethylparabenCommonly feared, low concern
A preservative that keeps products free of mold and bacteria. Reviewed repeatedly and considered safe at the low levels used.
