About
Methylphenylindolyl Ethyl Cyanoacrylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Methylphenylindolyl Ethyl Cyanoacrylate is a substituted cyanoacrylate monomer polymer used in cosmetic nail adhesives and resin formulations. Under EU CosIng it may appear under film-forming or binding functions. Cyanoacrylate monomers are known skin sensitisers and are listed under EU REACH for skin sensitisation assessment. Free residual monomer in the polymer must be controlled. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has evaluated cyanoacrylate monomers with specific concentration limits for skin exposure.
Skin benefits
- Strong adhesive properties for nail cosmetics
- Fast-curing film-forming ability
- Water-resistant barrier formation
Known concerns
- Skin and respiratory sensitisation from residual monomer
- Strong skin bonding can cause mechanical injury
- Eye irritation on contact
