Safety score · 0–100
Fine
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A reactive PPG-based methacrylate monomer used to build cosmetic film polymers. The polymerized form is safe; free monomer is a known sensitizer (especially nail products), requiring strict cure quality.
Function
Skin benefits
- Reactive monomer for cosmetic film polymers
- Modifies polymer flexibility and feel
- Used in nail and skin formulations
Known concerns
- Methacrylate functional group is a known sensitizer
- Used as a reactive monomer should be fully polymerized
- Free monomer residuals require strict control
