Sodium Chloride: is your everyday salt. It is not considered to be toxic and is used as a cleansing agent as well as a thickener.
Cocamide MEA: is derived from the fatty acid of coconuts and monoethanolamine. It is used as a stabilizing agent and a thickener. There is some controversy surrounding this ingredient, some information claims that it is very harmful and others claim that it is not very toxic at all. Though there is concern about contamination with nitosamines (serious carcinogen).
Glycerin: is pretty benign and of low toxicity. It is used in products mainly because it is affective at improving the smoothness of the product and is a good lubricant. Glycerin is a byproduct of bio-diesel. However, all you vegans take note. This form is very expensive, therefore it is more often derived from animal fats such as beef and vegetable oils such as coconut or soy beans. Therefore some products that list glycerin in their ingredients may not be vegan.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: Now this is a neat product. Shea butter is derived fro the seeds of the African Shea Tree. It acts as thickening agent as well as a skin conditioner. This product is preferred because it does not turn into a soap as other fatty oils do. It is considered a natural moisturizing factor because of its close resemblance to the lipid content of human skin. It helps to regenerate skin, block out bacteria and naturally absorbs UVB rays to protect the skin from the sun. It is safe to use and considered non toxic. However do to the fact that it is a nut people with nut allergies need to beware.
Theobrama Cacao (Cacao) Seed Butter: this is extracted from the roasted seeds of the cacao trees. It is used as a skin conditioning agent, a fragrance ingredient, and skin protectant. It is considered to be of low toxicity to humans and the environment.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Butter: is created by the isomerization of the Jojoba oil. This means that one molecule is transformed into another molecule with the same amount of atoms. It is used as a skin and hair conditioning agent. It is considered to be safe and of low toxicity to humans and the environment.
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil: is the oil extracted from the kernels of the seeds of the coconut palm. It is used as a fragrance ingredient and conditioning agent. It is considered to be of low to no toxicity to humans or the environment.
Parfum (Fragrance): Used to make the product smell nice. Though it is not considered to be harmful or a toxin, it does cause some individuals to develop headaches if it is labelled that it is derived from natural sources. However, the fragrance industry uses up to 3000 ingredients, most of which are synthetic, some 900 of which were identified as toxic. However, the industry is not required to disclose ingredients of fragrances and perfumes on their labels due to trade secrecy considerations. So you don't know what mix of chemicals you are receiving. Some of them are headaches causing, immunosystem toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic.
Glyceryl Stearate: is the vegetable derived glyceryl ester from stearic acid, combined with potassium stearate also known as potassium salts. It is a surfactant and an emulsifying agent. There appears to be low toxicity from this product and is seen to be relatively gentle for both humans and the environment. |
