Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

A polyurethane-style film-forming polymer built on polybutanediol and IPDI. Used to give nail and cosmetic films better wear. Generally safe in cured form; residual monomer is the watch-point.

Skin benefits

  • Polymeric film-forming network on skin and hair
  • Improves wear and water resistance of cosmetics
  • High molecular weight limits skin penetration

Known concerns

  • IPDI-derived polymers can carry residual isophorone diisocyanate monomer
  • Limited public toxicology on this exact polymer
  • Possible sensitisation if free monomer is present
