PERFLUOROPERHYDROFLUORENE.

Avoid CAS 307-08-4

Perfluoroperhydrofluorene is a synthetic fluorocarbon primarily functioning as a solvent and a potential skin conditioning agent. While its specific application mechanisms in skincare are not extensively researched, it is theorized to offer oxygen-carrying capabilities.

Summary

skin conditioning solvent

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a member of the fluorocarbon family, Perfluoroperhydrofluorene is hypothesized to facilitate oxygen transport to the skin, mirroring the 'oxygen-boosting' effects associated with related compounds like Perfluorodecalin, thereby contributing to skin conditioning. It also serves as a solvent within cosmetic formulations.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk High

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) and SCCS have not conducted a specific safety assessment for Perfluoroperhydrofluorene. As a Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS), its safety in cosmetics has been reviewed by the FDA, which concluded with significant uncertainty due to incomplete toxicological data. It is formally classified as an irritant, capable of causing skin irritation, serious eye irritation, and potential respiratory irritation.

Verdict

Avoid

Given its classification as a significant irritant and the substantial uncertainty surrounding its safety in cosmetics as a PFAS compound, Moumoujus advises against the use of Perfluoroperhydrofluorene in skincare formulations.
