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

A polymer used for texture, film-forming, or stabilization rather than direct skin treatment. These are usually tolerated on skin, but quality of the raw material matters.

PROPYLTRIMONIUMCHLORIDE ACRYLAMIDE/DIMETHYLACRYLAMIDE COPOLYMER is a cationic film-forming polymer used in hair products. The polymer itself should have low skin penetration, but acrylamide-family chemistry makes residual monomer control the main toxicology issue. That keeps it below the safety range of simpler inert polymers.
