SODIUM PROPOXY PPG-2 ACETATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 165038-54-0 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

SODIUM PROPOXY PPG-2 ACETATE is a multi-functional ingredient employed in skincare for its surfactant properties. It acts as a cleansing agent and an emulsifier, enhancing the stability and texture of formulations. Additionally, it serves as a hydrotrope, improving the solubility of other substances in water-based solutions.

Summary

Cleansing Agent Emulsifying Surfactant Hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound primarily functions by reducing the surface tension within formulations. As a surfactant, it facilitates the blending of oil and water components, contributing to emulsification. Its cleansing action stems from its ability to lower surface tension, making it easier to lift and remove dirt and oils from the skin's surface. As a hydrotrope, it increases the aqueous solubility of otherwise sparingly soluble ingredients.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

Specific safety evaluations for SODIUM PROPOXY PPG-2 ACETATE by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel are not available. While related compounds like PPG-2 methyl ether and other Polypropylene Glycols (PPGs) have been reviewed and deemed safe at specific concentrations (e.g., 0.4%-2% for fragrance/solvents, up to 50% for PPGs when non-irritating), these assessments do not directly apply to this exact ingredient. The FDA mandates manufacturers to substantiate the safety of cosmetic ingredients but does not pre-approve them (except color additives); no specific SCCS opinion has been identified for this compound.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While offering valuable cleansing, emulsifying, and hydrotropic properties, the absence of specific CIR safety data and detailed clinical efficacy for this exact compound warrants further research before definitive conclusions on its overall suitability and precise usage parameters.
