Verdict
CIR-cleared as safe when formulated to be non-irritating; no EU restrictions. Penetration-enhancing properties require care when co-formulated with ingredients whose safety depends on limited dermal absorption. Mandatory: 1,4-dioxane impurity control (≤10 ppm per GMP analog; ethylene oxide <1 ppm); document in COA. Safety conclusion relies on read-across from PEGylated oils family.
US Note
CIR 2012 concluded all 130 PEGylated oils safe when formulated to be non-irritating; read-across from PEG-castor oils and structural analogs; no ingredient-specific VCRP data reported at time of review
