Rice Oil Glycereth-8 Esters
Ethoxylated Surfactant; Cleansing Agent
Contamination Risk | Glycereth-8 is produced using ethoxylation, a manufacturing process associated with possible trace contamination by 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide unless carefully controlled and purified. FDA notes that ingredients containing '-eth-' can be associated with 1,4-dioxane formation. Because Oh Daisey excludes ethoxylated ingredients due to this avoidable manufacturing-contaminant concern, this ingredient is classified as Avoid.
