Regulatory Status
Generally considered safe; well-tolerated; no significant irritation or sensitization reported at typical use concentrations. Produces a continuous ultra-thin film on skin or hair that provides protection against external aggressors (chemicals, UV, pollution) while maintaining an optimal balance of cohesion, adhesion, and flexibility; reduces flakiness and restores elasticity
