For adults: Ethyl Macadamiate is a moisturizing ingredient used in creams and lotions. It is generally very safe and unlikely to cause harm for adult skin.

No Known Risk - The available ingredient safety summary for Ethyl Macadamiate lists only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions for topical use. No higher-level hazards (such as organ damage, hormone disruption, absorption into the body, or buildup) were identified in the reviewed assessment. For typical topical use there are no known health risks based on the provided safety information.

Confidence: HIGH

Glycerin

✅1/10

For adults: glycerin is a common, low‑risk ingredient used in creams and lotions to pull moisture into the skin. Most adults, including those with dry skin, tolerate it well.

Confidence: HIGH

Confidence: MEDIUM

Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

✅1/10

For adults: this ingredient is generally considered safe when used in regular skin creams and lotions. Risks such as cancer or effects on pregnancy are reported as low. There is some uncertainty because reviewers used data from related chemicals.

No Known Risk - Available safety reviews find only low-level concerns and no clear hazards for children from topical use. The cosmetic ingredient review noted the safety assessment relied on a related chemical and recommends limits on concentration and impurities, but did not identify risks above 'low'. Because no higher-level hazards were found, there are no specific child health risks to report.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

✅1/10

For adults, this ingredient is generally considered safe in skin products. It has low concerns for cancer, allergies, or long-term harm. A small number of people may experience skin or eye irritation.

No Known Risk - Multiple regulatory safety reviews find this ingredient is not expected to damage organs, does not build up in the body, and is not an environmental toxin. There is only limited, low evidence that it can irritate skin or eyes with topical use. Taken together, current safety assessments show no real health risks for children from normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH

Propanediol

✅1/10

For adults: propanediol is usually safe and used to keep skin hydrated and help formulas work. Most people have no problems, but it can sometimes cause mild irritation and may help other ingredients get into the skin more easily.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Chloride

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), sodium chloride — ordinary table salt — is very low risk when used on the skin. It's often added to cleansers, scrubs, lotions, and other products and is safe for most people.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews flag no meaningful health hazards for topical use. Food and health authorities list it as safe for limited use, and environmental assessments find it unlikely to harm organs, build up in the body, or damage wildlife. Overall expert sources rate concerns as low across cancer, allergies, development, and use restrictions.

Confidence: HIGH

Sodium Hyaluronate

✅1/10

For adults (grown-ups), sodium hyaluronate is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a gentle moisturizing ingredient used in many lotions and serums and rarely causes problems.

No Known Risk - Major safety reviews and government checks report low concern for this ingredient when used on the skin. Industry safety reviewers note some data gaps and recommend limits on how much may be used in products, and a government environmental review flagged uncertain effects on the environment. Some product-verification programs also require extra proof before allowing it. Taken together, there are no clear health risks above a low level in the available assessments.

Confidence: HIGH

Tocopheryl Acetate

✅1/10

Confidence: MEDIUM

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

✅1/10

For adults: this ingredient is generally low risk in skin products. Some agencies have noted small risks for skin or eye irritation and a possible low-level link to hormone effects, but the evidence is limited.

No Known Risk - The available safety evaluations show only low or limited concerns — a possible link to hormone effects is listed as low, and reports of skin or eye irritation are limited. Environmental toxicity is noted but there are no stronger human-health hazards identified in the provided data. Because no concerns were reported above a low level, there are no specific higher-level risks flagged for children using this ingredient.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Zinc Oxide

✅1/10

Very safe for adults when used on intact skin. Commonly used as a sunscreen ingredient and skin barrier agent.

Confidence: HIGH

2-Hexanediol

✅0/10

For adults, 2-hexanediol is generally low risk when used in normal skin-care products. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems in the available safety reviews. A small number of studies show it can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs at higher exposures.

No Known Risk - Independent safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and the European Chemicals Agency do not find serious health hazards for normal skin use. They note only limited evidence of skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher doses and point out some data gaps, so overall the ingredient is rated low risk for typical topical use.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Magnesium Sulfate

✅0/10

For adults: Magnesium sulfate (the substance sometimes called Epsom salt) is generally safe to use on the skin. Safety reviews list only low-level concerns, and it is not expected to build up in the body.

No Known Risk - Regulatory reviews find no meaningful health hazards for topical use. The U.S. food agency allows limited use in food, the Canadian health authority says it is not expected to be toxic and ranks it a low human-health priority, and independent cosmetic reviewers note only routine limits on concentration or impurities. It is also not suspected to build up in the body or harm the environment. Based on these official assessments, there are no real, above‑low concerns identified for normal topical use.

Confidence: HIGH
