Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not directly assessed PPG-9 LAURATE, citing insufficient data. However, a related compound, Propylene Glycol Laurate, was concluded as safe for use by the CIR in 1999. The broader class of fatty acids and their salts, including laurates, are generally considered safe in cosmetics when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing. Polypropylene glycols (PPGs) in general are known for their very good skin tolerance.
