SUSTAINABILITY

Rating: Moderate

1. Water (Aqua): Widely available, but excessive use in formulations can strain water resources.
2. Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil: Plant-based, renewable, and biodegradable. The impact depends on farming practices (e.g., water use, pesticide application).
3. Petrolatum (Soft White Paraffin): Derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. However, its production has lower toxicity compared to other petroleum-based products.
4. Glycerin: Often plant-derived and biodegradable. Synthetic glycerin has a lower sustainability rating due to its petroleum base.
5. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES): Derived from palm oil (linked to deforestation unless sustainably sourced) or petroleum. Biodegradability is moderate, but it may accumulate in water systems.
6. Lauryl Betaine: Amphoteric surfactant; usually biodegradable and less harmful to aquatic life. Impact depends on sourcing (e.g., coconut or palm oil).
7. Xanthan Gum: Biodegradable and derived from natural fermentation of sugars.
8. Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: Plant-derived (guar gum) but modified. Biodegradable but with a mild environmental processing impact.
9. Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Derived from plant oils, renewable and biodegradable. Sourcing practices matter.
10. Methylparaben and Propylparaben: Petroleum-derived. Biodegradability is controversial, and there are concerns about persistence in the environment.
11. Sodium Polyacrylate: A synthetic polymer that is not biodegradable and contributes to microplastic pollution.
12. Citric Acid: Naturally derived from fermentation, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
13. Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate: Derived from natural sources, biodegradable, and relatively low environmental impact.
14. Ceramide EOP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol: Often synthetic or derived from animal/plant sources. Biodegradability varies, and synthetic versions can have a higher environmental footprint.
15. Ethylhexylglycerin: Derived from natural sources, biodegradable, and low toxicity.
16. Carbomer: Synthetic polymer, not biodegradable, and contributes to microplastic pollution.
