Expert Verdict
Very high molecular weight polymer (~20,000 Da with 450 EO units) - generally considered low risk for skin penetration; reactive NHS ester group should be fully reacted in final product; standard PEG 1,4-dioxane concern. The hydroxysuccinimidyl succinamate moiety is a reactive group designed for protein/keratin binding - enables durable conditioning effects on hair; synthetic origin; solid PEG consistency serves as a consistency enhancer
