PERFLUOROBUTYLCYCLOHEXANE.

Insufficient Data CAS 374-60-7 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

PERFLUOROBUTYLCYCLOHEXANE is a perfluorinated compound, classified within the broader family of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). In cosmetic applications, it is typically employed to condition the skin and hair, imparting a smooth and shiny appearance, and to influence the overall consistency and texture of product formulations.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient primarily functions as an antistatic agent. It conditions both hair and skin, aiming to create a smoother and potentially shinier surface. As a PFAS, it also contributes to product consistency and texture, attributes commonly associated with this class of compounds in cosmetic formulations.

Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The safety profile for PERFLUOROBUTYLCYCLOHEXANE is marked by significant data gaps. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed data insufficient to assess its safety. Furthermore, its oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity are 'not determined.' As a perfluorinated compound, it belongs to the PFAS family, for which the FDA acknowledges incomplete or unavailable toxicological data, leading to substantial uncertainty regarding consumer safety. While the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has not specifically reviewed this compound, general concerns exist for PFAS due to environmental persistence and poorly understood human health effects, with the cutaneous route potentially allowing significant penetration.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Due to a significant lack of available safety and toxicological data, including its classification as a PFAS with 'not determined' toxicity, the use of PERFLUOROBUTYLCYCLOHEXANE is considered to have insufficient data for a comprehensive safety assessment.
