Sensitization risk Low

While Hydrolyzed Hydroxypropyl Starch Octenylsuccinate currently lacks a specific, comprehensive safety assessment by the CIR, it is referenced in reports concerning related Polysaccharide Octenylsuccinates. For context, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, a related compound, has been deemed safe in cosmetic formulations up to 30%, provided heavy metal concentrations are within limits. This ingredient is generally described as non-irritating.
