Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A flexible-film polyurethane copolymer made from HPMA acrylate, polytetramethylene glycol and TMDI isocyanate. Used as a long-wear film former. Cured polymer is inert; residual isocyanate control is the key safety lever.

Skin benefits

  • Long-wear cosmetic durability

Known concerns
