Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that there is insufficient data to conclude the safety of this ingredient in cosmetic formulations. The ingredient is not widely reported in cosmetic use according to VCRP data. Comprehensive safety evaluation would require data on its method of manufacture, precise composition, molecular weight, residual monomer impurities, skin metabolism and absorption, genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and dermal irritation and sensitization at maximum use concentrations. Notably, this ingredient faces no restrictions within the European Union.
