The sustainability of the ingredients in this formulation varies widely based on their sources and production methods. Natural and responsibly sourced ingredients, such as oat flour and wheat gluten, tend to be more sustainable, while those derived from petroleum or unsustainable palm oil raise significant environmental concerns. Adopting sustainable sourcing practices and opting for biodegradable alternatives where possible can improve the overall sustainability of formulations containing these ingredients.

The environmental impact of the listed ingredients varies significantly, with some being more sustainable than others. Glycerin can be sustainable if sourced from responsibly managed plant oils, while petrolatum and dimethicone, derived from petroleum, raise concerns due to fossil fuel extraction and their persistence in the environment. Isopropyl palmitate and distearyldimonium chloride may have similar issues if sourced from unsustainable palm oil or chemical processes. In contrast, Avena sativa (oat) kernel flour and Triticum vulgare (wheat) gluten are generally more sustainable due to their renewable agricultural sources, although sustainability depends on farming practices. Benzyl alcohol and menthol can be sustainably sourced from natural plants, but synthetic production may have higher environmental impacts. Overall, the sustainability of these ingredients hinges on responsible sourcing and production methods.
