Sustainability Rating: Low
1. Glycerol (50 mg/g)
- Source: Glycerol, also known as glycerin, is typically derived as a by-product in the production of biodiesel or from plant sources like palm oil and soy.
- Sustainability Concerns:
- If derived from palm oil, there are significant sustainability concerns, including deforestation and habitat destruction, which contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change. The palm oil industry has made efforts towards sustainability through the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification, but these are still debated in terms of effectiveness.
- Vegetable-based glycerol (e.g., from soy or rapeseed) can be more sustainable if grown using responsible agricultural practices that avoid deforestation and excessive pesticide use.
- Sustainable Alternatives: Look for glycerol derived from certified sustainable sources or those using biomass or waste glycerol (from biodiesel production).
2. dl-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E 100 IU) (100 mg/g)
- Source: This synthetic form of Vitamin E is typically produced from petrochemical sources or derived from vegetable oils (e.g., soybean or sunflower oil).
- Sustainability Concerns:
- Synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) can be less sustainable than natural tocopherols because of its chemical synthesis and reliance on petrochemicals. If it comes from vegetable oils, concerns about sourcing from unsustainable agricultural practices (e.g., monoculture crops) could arise.
- Sustainable Alternatives: Opt for natural, plant-based tocopherol or mixed tocopherols that are derived from responsibly sourced oils.
3. Phenoxyethanol
- Source: Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative derived from petrochemicals, often used to prevent microbial growth in cosmetics and personal care products.
- Sustainability Concerns: Being petrochemical-based, phenoxyethanol is not considered environmentally friendly. Its production and disposal contribute to pollution and potential toxic waste issues.
- Sustainable Alternatives: Consider plant-based preservatives such as radish root ferment filtrate or grapefruit seed extract, which have a lower environmental impact.
4. Imidurea
- Source: Imidurea is a synthetic preservative and antimicrobial agent used in cosmetics and personal care products.
- Sustainability Concerns: Similar to phenoxyethanol, imidurea is a petrochemical-derived compound with associated environmental and health concerns. It can release formaldehyde, a known irritant and carcinogen.
- Sustainable Alternatives: Opt for more natural alternatives, such as organic acids (e.g., sorbic acid or citric acid) or non-toxic preservatives like leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate.
5. Hydroxybenzoates (e.g., Methylparaben, Ethylparaben)
- Source: These are synthetic preservatives used in cosmetics to prevent bacterial growth. They are derived from benzoic acid, which can be synthetically manufactured from petrochemicals or natural sources.
- Sustainability Concerns: The production of hydroxybenzoates raises concerns about the use of synthetic chemicals, petrochemicals, and potential environmental pollution. Additionally, parabens are being scrutinized for their endocrine-disrupting properties.
- Sustainable Alternatives: Choose paraben-free formulations and opt for more naturally derived preservatives like potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, or natural antioxidants.
