Expert Verdict

Low concern - hydrolyzed pea protein has a strong safety record. The methacryloyl modification adds reactive groups but does not introduce significant new hazards when polymerized in situ. Very low allergenic risk compared to animal-derived proteins. Residual methacrylic acid monomer should be controlled. Combines the skin/hair conditioning properties of pea protein (moisturizing, anti-TEWL, film-forming) with crosslinkable methacryloyl groups for enhanced substantivity and durable film forma...
