Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

A close cousin of the PEG-438 version — a large PEG-PPG-urethane copolymer used as a thickener and film former. Cured polymer is inert. Watch-out is trace isocyanate or 1,4-dioxane carryover.

Skin benefits

  • Film-forming and sensory enhancer
  • Rheology modifier for thickening
  • Improves product wear and slip

Known concerns

  • SMDI-derived; residual isocyanate risk if poorly polymerized
  • PEG fraction can carry trace 1,4-dioxane
  • Mystery polymer; no SCCS opinion
