I missed that recent study on paraben and phthalate exposure related breast cancer risk - huge! We need more studies like this! Thanks for sharing, as always :)
Thanks for watching! Definitely a major development in our understanding of the risks of ingredients in our everyday products. I’m looking forward to more studies like these too!
It’s not your fault! They should not be selling products with these toxicants while misleading consumers to believe they’re perfectly safe. Now you can make a better choice going forward 🙌🏽
I mean just look the ingredients and look where they coming from, like synthetic or mineral origin, or something like that, just see each of them that you don't know and put into Google and see what it states. as I said if it's synthetic or mineral oil (cause mineral oil is used for so much other ingredients that have different names and they are all not best for the skin only like trapping moisture and making the skin smoother, but other more natural ingredients may do the same and give more benefits). also a lot of cheap preservatives used that are not the best
I am a senior with grey hair. I usually color my hair once a month to cover the grey. And today, I find that my hair color product ingredients include 3 different types of Paraben. Too scared as my mother died of breast cancer, and my sister passed of liver cancer. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so sorry to hear 💔 Thank you for watching and sharing. Hair dye is a product that is challenging to find with clean ingredients that actually works.
Henna is a 100% natural hair dye. My scalp still reacts to this plant powder. I need to use neem powder mixed with it (2 tablespoons per one-time). My scalp gets red and irritated without neem. Just avoid color "black" which is said to contain carcinogenic ingredients.
Thank you …so glad to finally have a doctor like you who is giving such wake up call to consumers . I would say 99.9% of consumers don’t bother to look at the ingredients . Most just go for “hot” products , assume that as long as products are in the market , it means they have cleared by FDA and meaning they are safe! I am so appalled by how product makers for the sake of making profit are misleading consumers in so many ways and totally having no ethical Conscience to human’s health
You're right! It's critical to read the ingredients list so we can protect ourselves. The regulations aren't stringent enough yet, but there are slow reforms happening. We can stay ahead of the curve by educating ourselves about ingredients to make informed choices 🙌🏽
The concern I have for products free of parabens is "what are they replacing them with"....which could be even worse. Many products now say they are paraben free, but still have long lists of ingredients.
I just saw this video, but another helpful method is what i learned in a Dr.Squatch ad, "if you can't pronounce the ingredients, it's probably not healthy for you." Something along those lines. Maybe it was a different soap ad, but i can't remember for sure.
Vera be is my favourite and most dermatology studies dismissed the amount of dangerous ingredients as being too low to harm. However, now I wouldn’t buy it anymore and thank you for better inform us!
Ever heard of FHF? Just found them and I am obsessed. Farmhousefresh is what FHF stands for. I actually cannot wait to shower and pamper myself. (W adhd and horrible dry skin, it’s a nice feeling after 5 decades of loathing that time) Products are made from their own farmed goods…I have never smelled soooo yummy for sooo long. And they use proceeds to help save farm animals. It seems like a great feel good company. And boy do I FEEL GOOD! FINALLY 🕊️
Ladies, pleeease.. if you know someone who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer OR has/had Breast Cancer forward this video. I'm a Breast Cancer survivor myself. When I was diagnosed I did this... #1.. I became a Vegetarian #2.. I got rid of ALL cosmetics, personal care products, perfumes, toxic house cleaners, "candles," and air freshener. Fear is not an option. Information is empowerment. Share this information and help our sisters. ❤ ❤ Thank you, Dr. Berkhart. ❤
Thanks for this really informative video! I use Cerave too :( while I knew about the parabens, I figured the foaming face wash was not much of a threat because it wasn't a leave-on product. But after watching this, I'm going to look for an alternative. FYI, for anyone who likes Cerave products, the baby lotion does not have parabens or any of the other major endocrine disruptors as far as I can tell.
I have just used the exact same foaming facial cleanser from your video & I have had an instant reaction. I only used a small amount, but my whole face was red raw, tight with big blotchy white hives. My face/scalp/ears were all tingling. My lips were swollen, my eyes were burning... then I started to really panic. After taking antihistamine pills, rinsing my face with cool water/diluted organic chamomile tea & sitting with a cold compress on my face for hours, my face finally calmed. I have thrown a brand new full sized bottle of cleanser in the trash, I wouldn't sleep donating it.
@RFN26 as a medic I'd say - if you can retrieve that bottle and take it to a medic, perhaps an allergy specialist. Take/keep photos of the effect and write down time line of reaction. The fact your lips swell up is a BIG red flag - if you are exposed to the same allergen again you might have swelling impacting your airway (breathing) especially if you you had any swelling of lips, tongue or roof of mouth. Reactions can be worse each time in some people. You need advice on which of the ingredients to avoid & have on your medical records as allergy.
Thanks for your info. Since years I make most of my skincare products myself, including tinted lip balm. I know whats in it. The downside is the lower shelf life. So, I make small amounts and keep it in the fridge. I wash my hair, which is dry, thick and curly with Rhassoul. Its a clay from Morroco. Its great for my type of hair.
I am following you as you are a qualified toxicologist with a PhD, I have no education in science and only listen to board certified dermatologists and PhD chemists, Dr Dray and others say the opposite to you. In the absence of parabens I wish to know what ingredients to look for in ensuring a water-based product has sufficient preservatives to keep it from growing mould and microbes which for example in mascaras are a risk for infections and blindness. Would you give a list of effective preservative ingredients in organic makeup?
I had been using cera ve for past few months , and i started to see huge hairfall , skin dullness ,nd what not , thnks for this info , i wont be using it again I swear 😭😔
I cheeked at the list of ingredients on my cerave cleanser foaming and there are no parabens. I think it is because here in Europe the regulation of ingredients is better regulated
I just discovered your channel and have been binging. Do you have a video or would you be willing to make a video on hair dye. I stopped coloring my hair three years ago and sometimes I miss coloring but I am anxious about exposing myself to toxins…
I agree that rocking your natural hair color can be a bit boring after a few years especially when we are surrounded by people who have fun with changing up their colors once in a while. But it's worth it considering the alternative (I read cancer risks go up by 90% with PPD in hair dye). Also, I don't know about you but I've never had a hair color suit me as well as my natural one.
I had a bad reaction to this product that affected my eyes. It took me awhile to figure out what was wrong and concluded the face wash was the culprit.
I got the cerave foaming facial cleanser and it made me breakout. Lots of really tiny ache and bumpy face. Stopped it and continued with my regular dove body wash and they all disappeared in 3-4 days. I discontinued for a while, tried it again just to be sure and the result was the same so I discontinued permanently.
Diagnosed w/ breast cancer stage 1 in 2019. Radiation office visit recommends Cerave as one of the lotions to use. Glad I didn’t use any drug store lotions... Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!❤ 14:31
I think the majority of products contain parabens as it’s a preservatives ingredients, is there some other good ingredients can replace this type of harmful preservatives?
Just read labels. I use shampoo and body wash that are very cheap, $10/29 ounces and $6/24 ounces, and they don't contain parabens or phthalates. The shampoo contains some fragrance, but it washes out.
Due to extreme allergies and rushes I stopped using all detergents and softeners, and switched to my own detergent gel made out of soda & shaved dr.brenner baby soap. It cost me 20 times less and finally I could wear clothes that last longer and doesn’t give rush to skin, for rinse cycle just a little bit of white vinegar and few drops of mint essential oil
Hi ma'am, it's very nice to hear your explanation which is so complex and detailed about some products that contain high toxicity, can you talk about sunscreen products from Skin Aqua?? because many teenagers use it as daily skincare, thank you🤍
@@dryvonneburkart Yes, that's right ma'am, so what should we do if we have already used the product? Because I've been using this product for a long time 🥲💔
Best one so far regarding spf sunscreen is Manda. It's a bit pricey but worth it because it's super clean. It's very thick so you can use a little less when spreading on.
Fyi, products labeled unscented are still allowed to contain chemicals that mask or neutralize odors of other ingredients. In other words, they contain fragrance components. And researchers who tested American fragrance-free body moisturizers found that 45% of them contained at least 1 fragrance cross-reactor or botanical ingredient.
They’re still used widely unfortunately, but now we can avoid them by reading the ingredients list. It also helps if we contact the manufacturers to let them know why we want to avoid these ingredients too.
There is a website where you can look up your products for safety. It's called EWG. They have a huge database and are pretty reliable. Personally I would not recommend Olay AT ALL.
Excellent question! I foresee this happening in the EU first since regulations are much more stringent compared to the US. This is newly published research and it could take years before legislative action is taken, which is why learning about ingredient safety is the best way to protect ourselves.
Hi Yvonne, would you happen to have a video about SPF creams? They are so hyped everywhere, but I still have concerns whether or not they affect our health. As far as I know there are many ingredients that are questionable
I had breast cancer last year and have been using niven creams (amongst many others,I was given aquas cream after radiotherapy, should I just use that as body cream ?
@@dryvonneburkart the injecting on the breasts part and how fast it was to deactivate cancer cells just by altering beauty products alone! Already knew that about Cerave when it arrived here💀

Thanks for watching! Lume deodorant is an improvement over conventional and mainstream products, but the varieties I’ve looked at contain undisclosed fragrance 🚩 What products are you looking to swap?
@@dryvonneburkart definitely deodorant, detergent and body wash. So far haven’t found a good nontoxic deodorant that actually works for me 😩. I’ve also looked into detergents I’m working into swapping it to something like earthbreeze detergent. I’ve swapped my body wash to hugh and grace body bar soap. I’ve been learning soo much from watching your content. THANK YOU 😊
I have used Lume in the past, and found it worked very well. Just bought it again and have to read the label for ingredients, but it can be used all over the body. It can be bought without fragrance.
very informative video. kudos to you for spreading awareness question: elf cosmestics claims it is has none of the toxins you mentioned. can you provide any more information on this? thanks
Thanks for watching! It’s great that ELF doesn’t use these ingredients, and is widely available & affordable. We have to look at the ingredients as a whole to determine safety. Sadly, the majority of their ingredients are highly processed making them less than ideal. I’ve linked 3 brands in the Description to give you an idea of the ingredients in truly low tox products 💜
Hello! I use both the CeraVe cleanser and lotion. I don't see any parabens on the ingredient list. Could they be hiding under another name/term? I do live in France, so perhaps it's a different formulation. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us and help us make better decisions!
It’s recent as of today. It could be a regional difference depending on which country you’re located in. www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers/foaming-facial-cleanser
Can you do a video about henna and indigo ? Mainly , is henna the safest way to colour grey hair ? And is it safe to mix henna snd indigo ? What we are hearing from TH-cam about shikakai , amla, Reetha, brinhraj , Brahmi…is it trie that they reduce inflammation and can treat hair loss?
I m so confounded about lip oils. None are true oils, theyre all glossy muck. I love the way oils, like Argan, feel. So why cant someone figure out a way to add a tint to that and put it in a glass with a roller applicator?
Hey! Thank you for sharing, this information is invaluable, God bless! On another note, do you also consider the materials/clothes you wear? Would you consider sharing some brands you trust? Warmly, Hannah x
Why would this be the case if some of these products are developed by dermatologists. They are doctors! That doesn’t really make any sense to me. Do they not know?
why is fragrance on dior lip oil bad for skin? is it because the high risk of allergies or other bad disease? can u explain more of it please, thank you ❤️
Excellent question! “Fragrance” is often a hidden source of endocrine disrupting phthalates, carcinogens, and allergens. Not to mention, it’s unnecessary in a lip product. If anything, “flavor” would be more appropriate since some may be ingested.
Hi! I'm very thankful for your TH-cam channel. I'm a soon-to-be dad and I've always been weary of hormone-disruptors for myself, but now even more so for the baby. I've already ordered a bunch of Ecoriginals and Eco Pea Co diapers and wipes in anticipation of him. What are your thoughts on plastic in toys? What about materials of baby clothes? I'm sticking to mostly wooden toys from LoveEvery and organic cotton for the clothes. Tons of research to do and I would love some of your thoughts on this in your future videos. Also, any recommendations for non-toxic makeup brands? What are your thoughts on fluoride in toothpaste and water as a toxin?
Thanks for watching! I’m glad to be of service and so pleased to hear how much action you’ve already taken before your baby arrives 🙌🏽 I would avoid plastic toys as much as possible due to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and heavy metals. Babies put toys in their mouths and could be exposed this way. Untreated wooden toys would be the gold standard in my opinion. 😊 I’ll make a video about baby toys with safer options. I have several videos on my channel about makeup and skincare 🤩
@@dryvonneburkart Wow, thank you! I'm watching some of the videos on makeup brands now. Some ideas for future videos would be about toxic chemicals in baby clothes, toys, fluoride (If you even believe it's a problem, but I've seen studies from Harvard where it's been associated with lower IQ, but correlation and causation are not the same thing), baby wash/shampoo, detergent, etc. We all appreciate what you do and I'm sure that concerned parents would flock to your videos and make your TH-cam channel soar.
Parabens will be listed on the ingredients list, but phthalates likely not. The best way to avoid phthalates is by avoiding “fragrance” or “Parfum” on the label.
Mamm is really cerave facial foaming cleanser hazardous as its reaults are mind blowing then in yours opionion to which safe product we can switched mean to which other safe product and we use instead of this cleanser
Terima kasih untuk informasi yang sangat berguna.. Kesini gara-gara tiktok.. Jadi dapat ilmu baru.. 🙏🏻🥺 jd tau kandungan apa yg harus di perhatikan ..🙏🏻 Tolong perbanyak konten kaya gini ya kak.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hopefully, more scientists and doctors will stay up to speed on the research in order to provide cutting edge information for their patients & clients. 💜
Thanks for watching! The Cerave Moisturizing Cream does not contain parabens or phthalates, thankfully. However, there are other ingredients of concern such as ceteareth-20, carbomer, and phenoxyethanol. Occasional use is not a concern, but you mentioned daily use and the problem is that no one knows the long-term health effects of frequent use combined with layering several products with overlapping ingredients.
This was very informative thank you! One question- In EU at least in my area, the Cerave ingredient list has no parabens so is it good to go or should I seriously just swap into black soap or something more natural?

I’ve also looked into detergents I’m working into swapping it to something like earthbreeze detergent. I’ve swapped my body wash to hugh and grace body bar soap. I’ve been learning soo much from watching your content. THANK YOU 😊
I have used Lume in the past, and found it worked very well. Just bought it again and have to read the label for ingredients, but it can be used all over the body. It can be bought without fragrance.
very informative video. kudos to you for spreading awareness
question: elf cosmestics claims it is has none of the toxins you mentioned. can you provide any more information on this?
thanks
Thanks for watching! It’s great that ELF doesn’t use these ingredients, and is widely available & affordable. We have to look at the ingredients as a whole to determine safety. Sadly, the majority of their ingredients are highly processed making them less than ideal. I’ve linked 3 brands in the Description to give you an idea of the ingredients in truly low tox products 💜
Hi thanks so much for this useful video🙏
Glad I could help!
I found out Olay bar soap almost choke me when use in shower.Coughing so hard. Had to stop showering. Will never buy it again.
Sorry to hear. Hope you found better products
Kesini gara-gara habis nonton tiktok
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
Hello! I use both the CeraVe cleanser and lotion. I don't see any parabens on the ingredient list. Could they be hiding under another name/term? I do live in France, so perhaps it's a different formulation. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us and help us make better decisions!
Yes exactly. Formulations differ by region.
Parabens are banned in the EU.
Can you type the names of what to avoid please
Look out for “Paraben” or “fragrance/parfum” on the label.
So tells us which is a safe face cleanser and make up remover ?

Thank you so very much for such an important, life saving health science
Glad I could help
Can you tell us what shampoo you use? And cleanser in shower? I need low tox shower stuff... thank you!
mana udh cocok bgt sama moist nya cerave🥹
How is Almay? Hypoallergenic is not irritating but can have anything in them. I can't see the ingredients on the packaging.
Can you prefer a better facewash and soap that are toxin free mam

This is WHY I don’t use much on my face!!!! Moisturizer and cleaner but now that cleaner and moisturizer is out! Yikes
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I don't find parabens in Cerave product you have mentioned. How old was that ingredient list you read?
It’s recent as of today. It could be a regional difference depending on which country you’re located in. www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers/foaming-facial-cleanser
UK one doesn't have it! 🎉
hi i'm from indonesia, glad to find your channel. Can you please tell us about The Body Shop?
Hello! 🤩 Thanks for watching. Sadly, the Body Shop is greenwashed. I discuss this brand in my Greenwashing Clean Beauty video. 😰
Its mean body shop doesnt contain paraben??
The Body Shop is going out of business now so I guess it doesn't matter anymore lol
Love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
how about cerave hydrating facial cleanser and cerave moisturizing cream?? please answer me😢😢😢😢
Can you do a video about henna and indigo ? Mainly , is henna the safest way to colour grey hair ? And is it safe to mix henna snd indigo ? What we are hearing from TH-cam about shikakai , amla, Reetha, brinhraj , Brahmi…is it trie that they reduce inflammation and can treat hair loss?
Could you make a list of all the ingredients to avoid please. It’s confusing with all the names
Parabens & phthalates 🚩It’s also in the research articles I linked in the description.
Wat products for dry skin do you suggest

I m so confounded about lip oils. None are true oils, theyre all glossy muck. I love the way oils, like Argan, feel. So why cant someone figure out a way to add a tint to that and put it in a glass with a roller applicator?
Right?! Fit Glow is the closest thing except it’s not in glass with a roller. That would make it immaculate!

Hey! Thank you for sharing, this information is invaluable, God bless! On another note, do you also consider the materials/clothes you wear? Would you consider sharing some brands you trust? Warmly, Hannah x
Yes, absolutely! Sustainable fibers like Tencel, lyocell, and organic cotton are my top picks. Check out my website with clothing added soon!
@@dryvonneburkarthey when you refer to your website do you mean email newsletter or Instagram? X
Is Octisalate ingredient in sunscreen safe to use?
Why would this be the case if some of these products are developed by dermatologists. They are doctors! That doesn’t really make any sense to me. Do they not know?
Can u tell me which facial cleanser i can buy for dry skin with hyperpigmentation?
I have dry skin with hyperpigmentation, I do oil wash. I use living libations "best skin ever". This oil has changed my life.
Can someone send me the link of the research. I saw it and can’t find it
Can you please tell us the same about Cetaphil and Simple Skincare??
Cetaphil cleanser does not contain parabens or phthalates 🙌🏽 It was challenging to find the ingredients for Simple products, so we can’t say for sure.
Mam cetaphil gentle cleanser contains parabens
@@dryvonneburkart the newer Cetaphil cleansers do contain parabens
You need to clarify better because my CeraVe Moisturizing cream doesn’t even say paraben??
Depends where you are in the world. The US versions still have it.
why is fragrance on dior lip oil bad for skin? is it because the high risk of allergies or other bad disease? can u explain more of it please, thank you ❤️
Excellent question! “Fragrance” is often a hidden source of endocrine disrupting phthalates, carcinogens, and allergens. Not to mention, it’s unnecessary in a lip product. If anything, “flavor” would be more appropriate since some may be ingested.
Hi! I'm very thankful for your TH-cam channel. I'm a soon-to-be dad and I've always been weary of hormone-disruptors for myself, but now even more so for the baby. I've already ordered a bunch of Ecoriginals and Eco Pea Co diapers and wipes in anticipation of him. What are your thoughts on plastic in toys? What about materials of baby clothes? I'm sticking to mostly wooden toys from LoveEvery and organic cotton for the clothes. Tons of research to do and I would love some of your thoughts on this in your future videos.
Also, any recommendations for non-toxic makeup brands? What are your thoughts on fluoride in toothpaste and water as a toxin?
Thanks for watching! I’m glad to be of service and so pleased to hear how much action you’ve already taken before your baby arrives 🙌🏽 I would avoid plastic toys as much as possible due to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and heavy metals. Babies put toys in their mouths and could be exposed this way. Untreated wooden toys would be the gold standard in my opinion. 😊 I’ll make a video about baby toys with safer options. I have several videos on my channel about makeup and skincare 🤩
@@dryvonneburkart Wow, thank you! I'm watching some of the videos on makeup brands now. Some ideas for future videos would be about toxic chemicals in baby clothes, toys, fluoride (If you even believe it's a problem, but I've seen studies from Harvard where it's been associated with lower IQ, but correlation and causation are not the same thing), baby wash/shampoo, detergent, etc. We all appreciate what you do and I'm sure that concerned parents would flock to your videos and make your TH-cam channel soar.
@@robfrancis2195 I've got a video that covers most of these coming up soon! Thanks for your support and excellent ideas. Keep up the great work! 💜
Such a good daddy you will be. It’s so fun to have babies, and terrifying all the ways we must protect them.
Both cerave face wash and moisturiser is paraben free right? I checked the ingredients 🤔
Depends on your location. US versions still have parabens in some Cerave products.
@@dryvonneburkartnot in mine, please list the ones that do.
The new cerave formula removed parabens i think...coz they mentioned pareben n fragrance free...n i dont see them in the ingredients list either
Hopefully this is true worldwide!
how can we detect paraben or phthalate in our products? do they write it openly in the ingredients list??
Parabens will be listed on the ingredients list, but phthalates likely not. The best way to avoid phthalates is by avoiding “fragrance” or “Parfum” on the label.
Hai, how about chanel lip product? Is it all perfume can cause it too? Thank you.
If the lip product contains “fragrance/Parfum” then it could contain phthalates, which I would avoid.
Mamm is really cerave facial foaming cleanser hazardous as its reaults are mind blowing then in yours opionion to which safe product we can switched mean to which other safe product and we use instead of this cleanser
Check out the Description for links to my preferred products like Earth Harbor.
Thanks SO MUCH for explaining this so simply.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I’ve been trying to leave that foaming cleanser on my skin for 60 seconds. The horrors.
I wish it were easy to be toxin free.
I did a Google search for which brands of facial cleanser are paraben free, and CeraVe came up SO many times. 😭😭😭
Check the ingredients list on the container. Online search is not reliable.
great information😚
Thanks for watching! I’m glad it was helpful.
Terima kasih untuk informasi yang sangat berguna..
Kesini gara-gara tiktok..
Jadi dapat ilmu baru.. 🙏🏻🥺 jd tau kandungan apa yg harus di perhatikan ..🙏🏻
Tolong perbanyak konten kaya gini ya kak.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sama 😅
Thank you for watching!
Kontennya sama seperti Dr. Richard Lee, sama-sama menyelamatkan banyak orang 🥰.
I wish Caroline Hurons watch this video. Because she always said that parabens and other ingredients are not the problem.
Hopefully, more scientists and doctors will stay up to speed on the research in order to provide cutting edge information for their patients & clients. 💜
wah wah terkaget2… kesini gara2 tiktok 🤭🤭
Thanks for watching!
how about cerave moisturizing cream? is that product safe? because i use that product for my daily skincare😢
Thanks for watching! The Cerave Moisturizing Cream does not contain parabens or phthalates, thankfully. However, there are other ingredients of concern such as ceteareth-20, carbomer, and phenoxyethanol. Occasional use is not a concern, but you mentioned daily use and the problem is that no one knows the long-term health effects of frequent use combined with layering several products with overlapping ingredients.
@@dryvonneburkartthank you for very helpful info by naming concerning ingredients! 👍🙏
This was very informative thank you! One question- In EU at least in my area, the Cerave ingredient list has no parabens so is it good to go or should I seriously just swap into black soap or something more natural?
Great job checking the label! Parabens aren’t in the EU Cerave. It’s region specific.
Parabens are banned in the EU.
Is it save to use product that contain Hydroxyacetophenone?
It's a preservative booster, which isn't concerning on its own, but the safety of the product depends on all the ingredients combined as a whole.
It’s actually a moisturizer and these are the ingredients:
Water, Butylene Glycol, Isononyl Isononanoate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide NG, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, (Msh)，Centella Asiatica Extract, Alpha-Arbutin, Ceramide NP, Tranexamic Acid, Ceramide AS, Ceramide AP, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Betaine, Jojoba Esters, Hydroxyacetophenone, Panthenol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sorbitan Olivate, Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 Dimethicone, Methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 Dimethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Armillaria Matsutake Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract
Is there any toxic ingredients? Thank you
