Science

Mechanism of Action

Acting as a multi-functional cosmetic ingredient, TEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE leverages its water and oil-repellent attributes. This unique characteristic enables it to behave as a surfactant, an emulsion stabilizing agent, and a solvent, effectively facilitating the uniform dispersion and mixing of substances that typically do not combine, such as oil and water.

Safety Profile

Sensitization risk Unknown

TEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE is classified as a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The broader class of PFAS compounds, including its structural analogue DEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE, is associated with substantial health concerns, such as potential carcinogenicity, immunotoxicity, reproductive and developmental issues, cardiovascular effects, and thyroid disruption. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has rated DEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE as 'Unacceptable' for EWG VERIFIED products. Comprehensive safety assessments specifically for TEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE by regulatory bodies like the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) are not available. While DEA-C8-18 PERFLUOROALKYLETHYL PHOSPHATE is listed in the FDA Global Substance Registration System (GSRS), this registration does not confer a safety approval.
