Expert Verdict
Residual MMA monomer concern as with other MMA-based polymers; the PEG/PPG components are generally well-tolerated but may pose concerns for extremely damaged or compromised skin barriers in rare cases. A hybrid crosspolymer combining MMA film-forming rigidity with PEG/PPG-4/3 methacrylate segments that contribute moisture affinity and flexibility; the PEG/PPG component enhances water solubility profiles and hygroscopic properties of the film
