Verdict

Effective and generally safe thickener/film former with negligible skin absorption due to crosslinked structure. Use with caution in products for compromised or barrier-disrupted skin due to occlusive film properties. Verify residual free acrylic acid meets EU requirements and comply with EU REACH SPM restriction deadlines: rinse-off ban 17 Oct 2027, leave-on ban 17 Oct 2029.
