It’s an ingredient whose safety hasn’t been questioned so far by anyone (at least not that we know about). BG is approved by Ecocert and is also used enthusiastically in natural products. BTW, it’s also a food additive. An alkaline (high pH, aka basic) material that is used to set the pH of the cosmetic formula to the right value.
