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