Expert Verdict
PPG derivatives are generally well-tolerated with good skin compatibility. The hexamethylenediurea moiety acts as the structural core; no specific toxicological red flags in CosIng or SCCS opinions. A urea-urethane-type rheology modifier built on a hexamethylene diurea backbone with C12-14 alkyl PPG-2 end groups. Functions as an organic gellant/structurant for oil phases, providing thixotropic or pseudoplastic flow behavior in non-aqueous systems
