• Triethanolamine (pH Adjuster/Neutralizer) — Balances acidity for gel texture; known skin and eye irritant that may cause redness, and has concerns over forming carcinogenic nitrosamines with other chemicals.
• Fragrance (Parfum) (Scent Blend) — Provides appealing aroma to the gel; undisclosed components often trigger allergies, contact dermatitis or respiratory irritation in sensitive users.
• Phenoxyethanol (Preservative) — Prevents bacterial contamination in water-based gel; safer than some alternatives but can irritate skin, eyes or mucous membranes and has debated systemic absorption risks.
• Methylparaben (Preservative) — Inhibits mold and bacteria growth for product stability; parabens linked to potential hormone disruption in studies, though allowed in low doses, caution advised for daily use.

• Fragrance (Scent Component) — Adds appealing aroma but may contain undisclosed allergens leading to skin irritation, sensitization or headaches in sensitive users.
• Phenoxyethanol (Preservative) — Prevents microbial contamination for product safety; generally okay in low doses but can irritate skin and has ongoing debate regarding potential toxicity with heavy use.
• CI 19140 (Synthetic Colorant) — Gives the product its visual color but synthetic dyes carry risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity for some users though regulated in cosmetics.
