Science

Mechanism of Action

This crosspolymer functions by forming a non-occlusive, breathable barrier on the skin's surface. Its fluorinated components impart exceptional hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, effectively repelling water and oils while simultaneously improving the tactile elegance and spreadability of formulations. It also acts as a skin-conditioning agent and can serve as a nonaqueous viscosity enhancer.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel assessed 62 dimethicone crosspolymers, including this ingredient, concluding their safety under existing use practices and concentrations. However, for TRIFLUOROPROPYL DIMETHICONE/TRIFLUOROPROPYL DIVINYLDIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER specifically, no data on its particular use types, applications, or maximum concentration were discovered. The panel also noted concerns regarding potential monomer presence. Significantly, this ingredient is identified as a Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substance (PFAS), a class of chemicals linked to potential thyroid disruption, and reproductive and developmental toxicities in both human and animal studies.
