Stability

The monomer, 1,4-Butanediol, is reported to be stable under recommended storage conditions and demonstrates hydrolytic stability across pH 4, 7, and 9 at 25°C. While this suggests potential stability for its polymeric derivatives, specific stability data for POLY(1,4-BUTANEDIOL)-6 itself is not explicitly detailed.


Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed the safety of POLY(1,4-BUTANEDIOL)-6 as a standalone cosmetic ingredient. The monomer, 1,4-Butanediol, underwent review but was concluded to have insufficient data for a safety determination in cosmetic use. While related polymers such as Poly(1,4-Butanediol)-28 and Poly(1,4-Butanediol)-14 have been noted as components within polyurethanes reviewed by CIR for artificial nail builders, direct and specific safety data for POLY(1,4-BUTANEDIOL)-6 in general cosmetic applications is currently unavailable.
