No specific data on optimal pH range or general stability notes for PPG-26/TDI COPOLYMER were found. For a related ingredient, PPG-26-Buteth-26, the reported stable pH range is 4.0-7.0.
Safety
Safety Profile
PPG-26/TDI COPOLYMER has not undergone specific safety assessment by regulatory bodies such as CIR, SCCS, or FDA for its use in cosmetic contexts. The 'TDI' (toluene diisocyanate) component is generally associated with industrial polyurethane production and poses known hazards in its raw, unreacted form, making its presence in a cosmetic ingredient name unusual without specific safety data for the copolymer. While safety assessments for related but distinct ingredients like PPG-26-Buteth-26 indicate safety when properly formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing, this data does not directly apply to PPG-26/TDI COPOLYMER.

Verdict
Due to a complete lack of specific safety, efficacy, and formulation data for PPG-26/TDI COPOLYMER, particularly concerning the hazardous nature of its TDI component in raw form, its use in skincare is highly questionable without rigorous, specific assessment.
