PPG-14 LAURETH-60 ISOPHORYL DICARBAMATE.

Avoid / VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

PPG-14 LAURETH-60 ISOPHORYL DICARBAMATE is primarily employed in cosmetic formulations to control viscosity. Classified as an ethoxylated substance, it raises significant concerns regarding its safety profile and potential adverse effects on skin barrier integrity.

Summary

Viscosity Controlling Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning primarily as a viscosity-modifying agent, PPG-14 LAURETH-60 ISOPHORYL DICARBAMATE helps achieve desired product textures. However, its ethoxylated molecular structure is associated with a potential to compromise the skin's natural protective barrier, rendering it more susceptible to external aggressors.

Caution
Sensitization risk High

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not evaluated the safety of PPG-14 LAURETH-60 ISOPHORYL DICARBAMATE. However, independent assessments, such as those by Sinaí Estética, label this ingredient as 'Muy Dudoso' (Very Doubtful) and 'A Evitar' (To Avoid). This caution stems from its ethoxylated nature, which involves the use of ethylene oxide, a recognized carcinogen, during its synthesis. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) restricts its use in EWG VERIFIED™ products without robust substantiation and highlights potential concerns for carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity, generally attributed to its chemical class or residual manufacturing impurities like ethylene oxide.
