POLYBETA-ALANINE/GLUTARIC ACID CROSSPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data / FILM FORMING

This unique crosspolymer, synthesized from beta-alanine and glutamic acid, functions as a film-forming agent. It creates a lightweight, flexible layer on the skin's surface, contributing to enhanced moisture retention and a perceptibly smoother skin feel.

Summary

Film Forming

Science

Mechanism of Action

POLYBETA-ALANINE/GLUTARIC ACID CROSSPOLYMER operates by forming a thin, adaptable polymeric film across the stratum corneum. This barrier physically reduces transepidermal water loss, thereby supporting the skin's natural hydration mechanisms and imparting a refined, even texture.

While the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed its monomeric components (alpha-amino acids, including alanine and glutamic acid) safe in current cosmetic uses, POLYBETA-ALANINE/GLUTARIC ACID CROSSPOLYMER itself has not undergone a specific safety review by CIR, SCCS, or FDA. Related compounds like 'Beta-Alanine Diacetic Acid and Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate' were noted to have 'Insufficient Data' by CIR as of September 2020.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While demonstrating potential benefits for moisture retention and skin texture as a film-former, the absence of specific safety evaluations and clinical data for this unique crosspolymer warrants further dedicated research for a conclusive assessment.
