🟠This cleansing oil contains a PEG/ethoxylated ingredient (Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate). As a cleansing product massaged on and then rinsed or removed, skin contact time is limited compared to leave-on formulations, which reduces practical absorption. Peer-reviewed toxicology review (Fruijtier-Pölloth, Toxicology, 2005), which directly reviews this ingredient class (PEG sorbitan fatty acid esters), concludes it's safe for cosmetic use, while noting manufacturers must control for trace 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide byproducts. This product is manufactured in South Korea, where cosmetic regulation (MFDS) sets a legal maximum of 100ppm for unintentional 1,4-dioxane residue — a higher ceiling than the ≤10ppm level UK/EU regulators (via the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) treat as the threshold for an acceptable trace contaminant. We don't have brand-specific verification of the actual level in this product, so we're disclosing it as an open item — though limited contact time meaningfully reduces the practical exposure this gap represents.
