PEG/PPG-5/10 TOCOPHERYL ETHER.

No data available to determine dusting properties for this ingredient.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that PEGs, their ethers, and fatty acid esters, including those in the PEG/PPG family, are safe for use in cosmetics, exhibiting little to no ocular or dermal irritation and extremely low acute and chronic toxicities. They do not readily penetrate intact skin, and their sensitizing potential on healthy skin is considered negligible. The CIR also affirmed the safety of tocopherols and tocotrienols, including PEGylated tocopherols, for cosmetic application, noting they are generally non-irritating or non-sensitizing to skin and eyes. While Alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) is categorized as GRAS by the US FDA for food-related uses, California's OEHHA Proposition 65 broadly lists some PEGs/Tocopherols as potentially causing reproductive toxicity. However, the CIR's comprehensive safety findings for PEGs and tocopherols explicitly found no reproductive or developmental toxicity concerns, suggesting the specific applicability of the Prop 65 listing to PEG/PPG-5/10 TOCOPHERYL ETHER in cosmetic use requires further clarification.
