POLYESTER-24.

Insufficient Data CAS 63534-56-5 / ANTISTATIC, BINDING, BULKING

POLYESTER-24 is a synthetic polymer primarily functioning as an antistatic, binding, and bulking agent in cosmetic formulations. Its polymeric structure suggests it forms a film on the skin, enhancing product texture, glide, and potentially contributing to properties like water and smudge resistance.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a polymeric substance, POLYESTER-24 acts by forming a coherent film upon application, which can impart antistatic effects, aid in binding other ingredients, and contribute to the bulk and viscosity of a formulation. This film-forming capability is also expected to improve a product's resistance to water and smudging, while enhancing the overall textural experience and glide on the skin.

Stability

Polyesters like POLYESTER-24 demonstrate robust stability in environments that are dilute acidic, oily, or neutral. However, they are prone to degradation when exposed to strong alkaline conditions, as the ester linkages within their molecular backbone can be compromised.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

POLYESTER-24 has not undergone specific review by the CIR Expert Panel or SCCS. While general polyesters are recognized by the FDA for specific food-contact applications, it is important to distinguish the polymer itself from its residual monomers. In some related assessments, residual monomers have been noted for potential irritation, sensitization, or mutagenicity, a concern specifically pertaining to unreacted monomers rather than the fully formed polymer.
