Expert Verdict
Residual MMA monomer is the primary concern, but CIR review confirmed safety given that PMMA is already approved for implantable medical devices (bone cement, dermal fillers) with far greater systemic exposure. Crosslinked copolymer of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; insoluble in both water and oil; provides texture enhancement, soft-focus effects, and improved product adherence
