PEG/PPG-7/50 COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data CAS 9003-11-6 (generic) / SOLVENT

PEG/PPG-7/50 COPOLYMER is a versatile polymer engineered to enhance the textural and rheological properties of cosmetic formulations. It functions as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer, contributing to improved product consistency. Additionally, it can optimize the delivery and deposition of conditioning ingredients on skin and hair, and enhance lathering.

Summary

Emulsifying Stabilizing Texture enhancing Conditioning Thickening agent Rheological control

Science

Mechanism of Action

This copolymer operates by stabilizing oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, providing structure to formulations through its thickening properties, and maintaining product homogeneity. Its polymeric nature aids in rheological control, while also facilitating the even distribution and adherence of other active ingredients on surfaces like skin or hair, and can increase the water tolerance of a formulation.

Stability

Specific optimal pH ranges for PEG/PPG-7/50 COPOLYMER's stability are not explicitly defined in available data. However, related PEG/PPG copolymers are often utilized across broad pH ranges, with examples seen in formulations stable between pH 6.20-6.80.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

PEG/PPG-7/50 COPOLYMER has not been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). The FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic ingredients. The EWG lists this ingredient as 'RESTRICTED' and indicates general hazard classifications ('May cause genetic defects', 'May cause cancer', 'Known to cause reproductive toxicity') based on EU GHS and California Proposition 65 for the raw material. It's important to note these are general classifications that may not directly reflect safety in cosmetic formulations at typical usage concentrations. EWG also reports 'No Data' for common concerns like 'Asthma / Respiratory', 'Skin Allergies & Irritation', 'Developmental & Reproductive Toxicity', and 'Environment' specific to this ingredient.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While PEG/PPG-7/50 COPOLYMER offers significant functional benefits for formulation texture and stability, the absence of specific safety reviews by CIR or SCCS, combined with 'unknown' ratings for irritancy and comedogenicity, necessitates an 'insufficient-data' verdict for its overall suitability in precision skincare.
