Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A 14-nucleobase PNA polymer that includes the more reactive aminohexyl-guanine residue, marketed as a skin conditioner with astringent feel. Same default-down logic as the rest of the PNA series — orange, not yellow, due to absent public data.
