About

A cleansing or emulsifying ingredient used to help lift oil and dirt. It carries meaningful safety uncertainty or irritation risk and deserves caution.

This is a surfactant or emulsifier that helps with cleansing or formula stability, so the main safety tradeoff is barrier disruption rather than systemic toxicity. Raw-material hazard data include H302, H315, H318, H412. The combination of uncertainty and plausible biologic or irritation risk makes this a distinctly cautious ingredient choice.
