About

Propyl Methacrylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Propyl methacrylate is an acrylate monomer used in nail cosmetics and resin formulations. It is subject to EU Annex III restrictions under Regulation EC 1223/2009 due to its skin sensitization potential. Acrylate monomers are among the most frequently reported contact allergens in cosmetic-related allergic contact dermatitis. It is not banned but is restricted to a maximum concentration in ready-for-use preparations.

Known concerns
