Expert Verdict
Identical DEA-related concerns as \#6 - nitrosamine formation potential; generally safe silicone backbone. Structurally analogous to \#6 with a different PEG/PPG ethoxylation/propoxylation ratio (20/20 vs. 18/21), which shifts HLB and emulsion behavior slightly. Same EU prohibition due to its DEA component.
