SORBITOL POLYGLYCIDYL ETHER.

Avoid CAS 68412-01-1 / NOT REPORTED

Sorbitol Polyglycidyl Ether is a polyfunctional epoxy compound primarily employed in industrial settings. It functions as a crosslinker and reactive diluent, integral to the formation of robust materials such as resins, coatings, and adhesives. Its application in skincare is neither established nor recommended.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk High

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed Sorbitol Polyglycidyl Ether; their assessment of 'Sorbitol' (the sugar alcohol) does not apply to this distinct chemical entity. Safety Data Sheets indicate significant hazards, including causing skin irritation (H315), potential for allergic skin reaction (H317), serious eye irritation (H319), and toxicity to aquatic life (H411).
