Expert Verdict

Limited standalone toxicological data. As a high-molecular-weight synthetic polymer, skin penetration is negligible. DMAPA (3-dimethylaminopropylamine) monomer residues could cause sensitization if present above trace levels.. Synthetic copolymer that provides hold and viscosity modification; the DMAPA component contributes cationic character for hair substantivity.
