Safety score · 0–100
Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A urethane/acrylate film-former built around isophorone diisocyanate. The cured polymer is inert but residual IPDI is a known respiratory sensitiser — formulators must control it tightly.
Skin benefits
- Film-forming polyurethane for nail and skin
- Improves wear and water resistance
- Flexible matrix on the surface
Known concerns
- Built on IPDI — residual diisocyanate is a respiratory sensitiser
- Best limited to leave-on nail or peel-off formats
- Inhalation hazard during spray application
- Acrylate moiety adds sensitisation potential
