Fine

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

A very-low-MW PEG/PPG dimethyl ether (CAS 61419-46-3) — essentially a volatile cosmetic solvent. Skin tolerance is fine, but high VOC contribution and EU atmospheric scrutiny push it to the lower end of the fine band.
