As a Per- and polyfluorinated chemical (PFAS), this ingredient raises significant environmental and health concerns due to its high persistence. The broader PFAS class has been linked to immunotoxicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, cancer, cardiovascular effects, and thyroid disruption. The FDA has noted insufficient data for many cosmetic PFAS to conclude adequate safety. Crucially, specific safety assessments for PERFLUORONONYLETHYL PEG-8 PHENYLISOPROPYL DIMETHICONE, including its unique phenylisopropyl group, are not available.
