Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A synthetic polypeptide tied to a long PEG chain for film-forming and hydration in skincare. Generally low-risk but novel — public clinical data is limited, and the long PEG segment carries the usual class caveat.
