Safety Profile
Regulatory bodies like the FDA have cleared similar polymeric substances, such as 1,4-butanediol polymer with succinic acid, for specific food-contact applications, including single-use materials and cap liners. This indicates a precedent for the safety of related polymers in certain contexts. However, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet evaluated this specific copolymer for cosmetic use. Data regarding potential skin allergies, irritation, developmental/reproductive toxicity, or carcinogenic potential for this ingredient in a skincare context are currently unavailable from sources like EWG.
