TRIMETHYLPENTANEDIOL/ADIPIC ACID COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data CAS 26139-53-7 / SKIN CONDITIONING

TRIMETHYLPENTANEDIOL/ADIPIC ACID COPOLYMER is a polymer primarily recognized for its skin conditioning properties and its ability to act as a sophisticated delivery system. It helps maintain skin health while potentially enhancing the longevity and reducing irritation of co-formulated active ingredients by entrapping them within its matrix.

Summary

skin conditioning delivery system

Science

Mechanism of Action

This copolymer functions by forming a polymeric matrix on the skin, contributing to its overall conditioning and health. Critically, it serves as an advanced delivery system, encapsulating active ingredients to facilitate a more sustained release and prolonged effect, which can also help mitigate potential irritation associated with certain potent actives. Beyond its direct skin benefits, it may also contribute to improved product texture, stability, and ingredient penetration within the formulation.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not specifically assessed TRIMETHYLPENTANEDIOL/ADIPIC ACID COPOLYMER. While some related copolymers have been noted to have insufficient data for safety determination, a closely related ingredient, 'Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid/Glycerin Crosspolymer', was evaluated by NICNAS (now AICIS) as a polymer of low concern, posing a low risk to public health at concentrations up to 10% in personal care products. However, this specific copolymer lacks its own direct safety review.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While TRIMETHYLPENTANEDIOL/ADIPIC ACID COPOLYMER shows promise as a skin conditioning agent and delivery system, the absence of a direct CIR safety review and specific clinical efficacy data warrants a cautious approach.
