Ingredients
Active Ingredients
Potassium hydroxide is a highly caustic industrial chemical used primarily as a pH adjuster in pharmaceutical manufacturing and as a diagnostic reagent in laboratory tests, such as the KOH prep for fungal infections. While it plays a crucial behind-the-scenes role in ensuring medication safety and accurate diagnoses, it is not intended for direct consumer use due to its potential to cause severe burns and toxicity. Strict safety protocols govern its handling, making it essential in professional settings but hazardous outside controlled environments.
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil is a versatile natural oil rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and lauric acid, prized for its energy-boosting, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties. While it supports metabolism, immune health, and skin care, its high saturated fat content may raise LDL cholesterol and poses potential risks for those with heart or cholesterol concerns. Best used in moderation, coconut oil offers unique benefits but should be incorporated thoughtfully into a balanced diet.
Water is a vital nutrient essential for maintaining cellular functions, regulating body temperature, and supporting metabolic processes. It enhances cognitive function, physical performance, and overall health by facilitating biochemical reactions and nutrient transport. Proper hydration is crucial, but attention should be given to avoid overhydration and ensure water quality for safe consumption.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil is a nutrient-rich oil high in linoleic acid and vitamin E, supporting cardiovascular health, skin hydration, and inflammation modulation. It acts as an antioxidant protecting cells from oxidative stress and promotes skin barrier integrity. While generally safe, balancing omega-6 intake with omega-3s is important to avoid pro-inflammatory effects, and sensitive individuals should patch test for allergies.
