Sugar Alcohols
- Vegetable Glycerin
Chemically a sugar alcohol, used to keep bars soft and moist rather than to sweeten. The EU safety authority found no safety concern at food levels. Large amounts can draw water into the gut and have a laxative effect.

Tropical Oils
- Palm Kernel Oil, Palm Oil
Palm oil is pressed from the fruit of the oil palm; palm kernel oil comes from the seed inside that same fruit. Neither is a typical seed oil: the concerns people cite when avoiding seed oils are a high omega-6 linoleic acid load and the oxidation that polyunsaturated fats are prone to during refining and heating, and both palm oils are mostly saturated fat, with very little omega-6 and much greater oxidative stability. Palm oil is around half saturated fat, mostly palmitic acid, and a meta-analysis of controlled trials found it raises LDL cholesterol compared with vegetable oils low in saturated fat; palm kernel oil is more saturated again. Both stay solid at room temperature without hydrogenation, which is why coatings use them.
