Expert Verdict
Primary concern is residual methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, which is a known skin sensitizer and respiratory irritant. CIR review determined low monomer levels in finished polymers pose no significant risk. Fine white powder or porous spherical beads; provides soft-focus blurring of pores and fine lines; oil-absorbing/mattifying; improves product adhesion and wear time; the "-2" designation indicates a specific crosslink density or composition variant
