Acrylate Copolymers/Crosspolymers in Sunscreens: Minimally Allergenic, Without Evidence of Need for Avoidance by (Meth)Acrylate–Sensitized Individuals

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the allergenic potential of acrylate copolymers and crosspolymers in sunscreens for individuals sensitized to methacrylates.
• Evaluated the allergenic properties of acrylate copolymers and crosspolymers in formulated sunscreens.
• Assessed the need for avoidance in individuals sensitized to (meth)acrylates.
• No evidence was found indicating that acrylate copolymers and crosspolymers in sunscreens pose a risk for sensitized individuals.
• The use of these ingredients in sunscreens was deemed safe for individuals with (meth)acrylate sensitization.
