Safety Profile
This ingredient has not undergone review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). H&M Group's Chemical Restrictions for Cosmetic Products specifically lists 'Polyperfluoroethoxymethoxy difluoromethyl distearamide/ tribehenin PEG-20 esters' under a 'Usage ban'. This restriction signals that this, or compounds with very similar highly fluorinated structures, are considered unsuitable for cosmetic formulations due to potential safety implications.

Verdict
Due to a complete absence of efficacy and safety data from independent review bodies, combined with an explicit usage ban by a major retailer for this class of highly fluorinated compounds, Moumoujus advises against its inclusion in skincare formulations.
