The safety of Dimethicone PEG-8 Phthalate for cosmetic application has not been evaluated by an independent industry panel. While the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed broader categories of dimethicone polymers, their review did not specifically include this phthalate ester component. The ingredient is associated with high concerns regarding potential contamination by Ethylene Oxide and 1,4-Dioxane. The FDA has previously voiced general concerns about phthalates, particularly in food contact materials, and has seen many phthalate uses in other industries discontinued.
