About
A small heterocyclic compound with a rougher hazard profile than you’d want in a comfortingly safe cosmetic ingredient. The raw-material toxicology is enough to drag this well below average.
Piperidinedione is a small organic compound flagged in the batch data with GHS hazards including toxicity if swallowed, harmful skin contact and inhalation, and skin and eye irritation. That does not automatically predict the exact risk of every finished cosmetic formula, but the intrinsic hazard profile is clearly not gentle. Without a compensating regulatory safety story, a low score is justified.
