Safety Profile
This ingredient has not undergone a formal safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel. Notably, it is identified as an ingredient requiring a warning under California's Proposition 65, indicating potential for causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Furthermore, some clean skincare brands include it in lists of 'harmful chemicals and questionable ingredients,' often associating it with other mercapto compounds under general concerns regarding heavy metals or toxicity.

Verdict
Due to a complete absence of clinical efficacy data for skin, an unreviewed safety status by the CIR, and significant warnings under California's Proposition 65, the use of DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAMERCAPTOPROPIONATE in skincare is highly questionable and not recommended for Moumoujus formulations.
