Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

A film-forming polymer used to hold the formula together and condition nails. It has a more noticeable irritation or sensitization profile than basic cosmetic ingredients.

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. That keeps it usable in some products, but it is less comfortable than simple moisturizers and should be handled with more caution.
