⚠️Warnings

Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible — stop use if you develop a rash or swelling (source: Environment Canada notes and general safety listings). Some industry reviewers recommend rules about how the ingredient is made and how much can be used in products, so impurities or manufacturing methods are areas manufacturers manage (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also, some product verification programs may restrict use unless manufacturers provide supporting information — look for clear product labeling or manufacturer notes if you prefer verified products.
