Fine

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

A film-forming polymer used to provide physical exfoliation. It is usually acceptable in well-formulated products, though sensitive skin can still react.

This is a high-molecular-weight polymer or silicone that mostly stays on the surface of skin, hair, or nails to create slip, adhesion, or a uniform film. At typical cosmetic use levels, the main downside is local irritation, allergy, or formula-dependent sensitivity rather than strong systemic risk.
