Expert Verdict
Very high molecular weight limits dermal absorption; assessed within acrylate copolymer group safety reviews; 1,4-dioxane residual concern applies to the PEG-90 chain. The PEG-90 chain (~4,000 g/mol) is semi-solid/waxy; when crosslinked with acrylates and glycol dimethacrylate it forms hydrogel networks providing skin protection and controlled release
