Expert Verdict
Significant data gap: No public RIFM, CIR, or SCCS assessment found. Nitrile group requires specific evaluation for metabolic fate and potential HCN release (unlikely at cosmetic levels for stable aliphatic nitriles but must be documented). Recommend obtaining full supplier safety dossier, DPRA/h-CLAT/KeratinoSens in vitro sensitization battery, Ames test or in silico genotoxicity assessment. Cannot complete CPSR Part B without additional data.
