About
The longest member of the PNA-carboxyethyl fluorene family in this batch — 20 nucleobases across seven different nucleobase types. Same novel-polymer caveat as the rest of the PNA series — sparse public data keeps it parked in orange.

Skin benefits

- Broad nucleobase composition for biological interactions
- Synthetic non-protein backbone
Known concerns
- Novel PNA polymer — very limited public toxicology
- No CIR or SCCS assessment
