Safety
Safety Profile
No specific safety assessment from CIR, SCCS, or FDA is available for Isophorone Diamine Sesquimaleate. The related compound, Isophorone Diamine (IPDA), has been noted as corrosive to skin and eyes, with a potential to cause allergic skin reactions in industrial settings. This raises a cautionary flag regarding the safety profile of its derivative in skincare applications without specific data.
