Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex Gly 20%
Not assessed
No matched ingredient rating is available yet. Not assessed does not mean safe or unsafe.
Cyclopentasiloxane

Silicone emollient and solvent used to improve slip and spreadability. No known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern in normal topical cosmetic use based on reviewed cosmetic safety sources. Spray or aerosol formats may warrant extra caution because inhalation/local lung exposure concerns have been raised for those uses.

Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin)
No known risks

Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed hydrogenated poly(C6-14 olefin) with cosmetic polyenes and concluded that the group is safe in current practices of use and concentration. Dermal absorption is expected to be limited by molecular size.
