PNA-6 CARBOXYETHYL FLUORENE

55

Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A 12-nucleobase peptide nucleic acid polymer (a-c-g-t variants) on a fluorene backbone, marketed for advanced skin effects. Like the rest of the PNA-carboxyethyl fluorene family, public toxicology data is sparse, so it sits in cautious orange.
