Hydrated Silica
Hydrated Silica appears in 33 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Hydrated Silica appears in 33 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.
Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
75.8% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Hydrated Silica as the trigger. Open records such as AlphaRet Overnight Cream; Coconut; Eye Ball Juice and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 78.9/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 42% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
75.8% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 32 of 32 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
What else is usually in the same product as Hydrated Silica
Across the 33 products on this site that list Hydrated Silica, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Titanium Dioxide shows up about 14.4x more often with Hydrated Silica than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Hydrated Silica products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 10 | 30.3% | 2.1% |
| Saccharin | 10 | 30.3% | 0% |
| Polysorbate 60 | 6 | 18.2% | 1.4% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.

Questions readers ask about Hydrated Silica
How should I read safety signals when Hydrated Silica sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
75.8% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Hydrated Silica is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Hydrated Silica? ▼
Hydrated Silica ranks in the top decile by product count (#6,578 of 247,206), appearing in 33 indexed products led by Toothpaste. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Hydrated Silica so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Hydrated Silica appears in 33 products (#6,578 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
