DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Perfluoropolymethylisopropyl ether is a synthetic fluorinated polymer used in cosmetic formulations (Akiyama E et al. 2005). The substance acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple). Pharmaceutical use: Perfluoropolymethylisopropyl has been used in clinical-experimental approaches as a protective film to avoid toxic contact dermatitis (Pantini G et al. 1990).
The use of perfluoropolymethylisopropyl in cosmetics is considered to be of concern.
