Safety score · 0–100

Good

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Sunflower-oil glycerides with just 2 EO units added — about as gentle as PEGylated emollients get, since low ethoxylation means very little risk of 1,4-dioxane carrying through.
