✅What to Do

If you are an adult and want to use a product that contains this ingredient: choose products from brands that test for contaminants or share safety testing, avoid putting it on open cuts or badly broken skin, and patch-test a new product on a small area if you have sensitive skin.

⚠️Warnings

The ingredient safety listing flags two manufacturing contaminants — ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane — as the main concern, and notes the ingredient can help other ingredients get through the skin. Because those contamination risks come from how the ingredient is made, look for products that test for these contaminants or provide safety substantiation. Stop use and see a doctor if you get redness, swelling, or other signs of a skin reaction.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Cancer: This ingredient can be contaminated with tiny amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane. Public health authorities list those chemicals as carcinogenic or likely carcinogenic, so their presence as contaminants raises a cancer concern even at low levels.

Absorbed: An industry safety review notes this ingredient can act as a skin penetration enhancer. That means it can help other chemicals (including any contaminants) get through baby skin and into the body.

Long-Term Risk: Because of the contamination risk with chemicals linked to cancer and because safety assessments rely on limited data and related chemicals, there is a real worry about possible harms from repeated, long‑term use.

Organ Risk: One of the contaminants noted (1,4‑dioxane) has been linked by regulators to liver and kidney effects in animal studies, so contamination could pose a risk to organs with repeated exposure.
