Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

A crosslinked taurate/acrylate thickener used to gel water-based cosmetics. AMPS-family chemistry has a strong cosmetic record for mildness; the main downside is microplastic environmental persistence rather than skin risk.
