POLY(BENZOTRIAZOLYLHYDROXYPHENETHYL METHACRYLATE).

Insufficient Data CAS 96478-13-6 / LIGHT STABILIZER, SKIN PROTECTING

This polymer functions primarily as a light stabilizer, protecting cosmetic formulations from degradation due to UV exposure. It also offers a skin-protecting benefit, likely by absorbing or reflecting harmful UV radiation from the skin's surface.

Summary

Light Stabilizer Skin Protecting

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not specifically evaluated POLY(BENZOTRIAZOLYLHYDROXYPHENETHYL METHACRYLATE). While methacrylate monomers are recognized sensitizers and irritants, this ingredient is a polymer, which is generally anticipated to be significantly less reactive. Other methacrylate polymers, such as Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), have been deemed safe in cosmetic formulations.
