Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Made from castor oil and from citric acid.
- Why it's in the product
- Holds or reduces odor instead of perfuming over it.
- Safety and toxicity
- Neither is a fragrance, so the reasons we flag scent do not apply. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has assessed the citrate esters, triethyl citrate among them, as used in cosmetics.
