PEG-9 C10-14 OLEFIN/MA COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data / EMULSION STABILISING

This ingredient primarily functions as an emulsion stabilizer, crucial for maintaining the integrity and consistency of cosmetic formulations. It also acts as a solvent, aiding in the uniform distribution of ingredients and potentially enhancing active component delivery.

Summary

Emulsion Stabilizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

PEG-9 C10-14 Olefin/MA Copolymer principally serves as an emulsion stabilizer within cosmetic formulations, preventing the separation of immiscible phases and ensuring product stability. As a derivative of polyethylene glycol (PEG), it also possesses solvent properties, facilitating the homogeneous blending of various ingredients and potentially improving the dermal penetration and absorption of active substances.

While the unpolymerized Maleic Anhydride monomer is classified with severe skin burn and eye damage potential, its polymerized form in this copolymer is expected to exhibit significantly reduced reactivity and a different safety profile. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed PEG-9 C10-14 Olefin/MA Copolymer. However, numerous other acrylate copolymers have been deemed safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating, and general polyethylene glycol compounds are broadly utilized in cosmetic products.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While offering valuable emulsion stabilization and solvent properties, the absence of specific CIR review and comprehensive skin compatibility data for this exact copolymer suggests further evaluation is prudent for precision skincare applications.
