Expert Verdict

Contains PEG (polyethylene glycol) components, which carry the general PEG concern of potential 1,4-dioxane contamination as a manufacturing byproduct - requires appropriate purification and testing. Otherwise considered low toxicity. Combines silicon-based skin-conditioning with PEGylated coconut-derived emulsification. The silanol component provides enhanced skin feel while PEG-8 glyceryl cocoate delivers mild emulsifying capability. Listed in China's CFDA inventory (No. 3307) but with 0% m...
