Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that there is insufficient data to determine the safety of 1,4-Butanediol (the monomer) for cosmetic use. It is crucial to note that the FDA's classification of 1,4-Butanediol (the monomer) as a Class I Health Hazard pertains to its ingestion and misuse as a precursor to illegal drugs (GHB), not its topical application in cosmetic formulations, nor does this classification directly apply to the polymer POLY(1,4-BUTANEDIOL)-28.
