Safety

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk High

While broader acrylates copolymers are generally deemed safe, specific CIR data for this ingredient is lacking. At 30-50% concentration, it is identified as a skin irritant (Category 2) and sensitizer (Category 1). Its PPG component is listed as a 'sceptical microplastic' due to insufficient environmental data.

Our Assessment

Insufficient Data

Despite its utility as a binding agent and solvent, insufficient specific safety data and noted risks of irritation/sensitization at higher concentrations warrant a cautious approach.
