GLYCIDYL C8-11 ACIDATE/GLYCERIN/PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data / FILM FORMING

This copolymer serves primarily as a film-forming agent, creating a continuous protective layer on the skin's surface. Additionally, it functions as a viscosity-controlling agent, influencing the texture and flow of cosmetic formulations.

Science

Mechanism of Action

GLYCIDYL C8-11 ACIDATE/GLYCERIN/PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER operates by establishing a continuous polymeric film upon application to skin, hair, or nails. This film contributes to barrier enhancement and product longevity. Its polymeric structure also allows it to modulate the rheological properties of a product, thereby controlling its viscosity.

No direct safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has been conducted for GLYCIDYL C8-11 ACIDATE/GLYCERIN/PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER. While related CIR assessments exist for 'Acrylates Copolymers' and 'Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymers', they do not specifically evaluate this phthalic anhydride copolymer. A chemically similar compound, PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE/GLYCERIN/GLYCIDYL DECANOATE COPOLYMER, has been identified by EWG Skin Deep with low concerns for potential carcinogenicity, allergenicity, immunotoxicity, and developmental/reproductive toxicity.
