Fine
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A high-molecular-weight polyurethane-PEG copolymer that builds flexible films in long-wear cosmetics. Largely inert as a finished polymer, but residual IPDI and PEG dioxane traces keep it in cautious yellow territory.
