Hexamethylene Sesqui-Hydroxystearamide has not undergone a formal review by the CIR panel. Similarly, comprehensive published research for a Paula's Choice rating is currently absent. While some related compounds, specifically Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Polymers and Hydroxystearic Acid, have been assessed by CIR, direct data for this ingredient is limited. GHS classification data for its synonym, Hexamethylene bis-hydroxystearamide, indicates that 25.2% of reports suggest a potential for allergic skin reaction (H317). Additionally, 33.7% of reports highlight possible long-lasting harmful effects to aquatic life (H413), though it's noteworthy that 66.3% of reports do not meet GHS hazard criteria.
