Industry reviewers do note limits on how much can be used and some data gaps, but overall the ingredient is rated low concern for topical use.

For adults, Lauryl PEG-8 Dimethicone is generally safe when used on normal skin. It’s a silicone-based ingredient that helps products spread and feel smooth. Overall health concerns are low for grownups.

No Known Risk - The ingredient’s safety checks for cancer, allergy/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harm are all rated low based on the provided assessment. That means no higher-than-low hazards were identified for children with normal topical use.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use.

Sodium Citrate

✅1/10

For adults: Sodium citrate is generally safe on the skin. It has a very low risk of causing serious harm and is commonly used to balance acidity and help ingredients work together.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information shows only low-level concerns. U.S. food regulators say it is allowed for some food uses, a cosmetic safety panel notes allowed limits and some data gaps but does not show hazards at normal use, and a national environment agency finds it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or persist in the environment. Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Titanium Dioxide

✅1/10
