For adults: PPG-9 is generally low risk when used in normal cosmetic products. Most reviews find low concern for serious health effects, though mild irritation is possible.
Use products that list PPG-9 as directed on the label. If you have sensitive skin, try a small patch test on your inner wrist first. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Stop use and rinse with water if you get redness, burning, or eye contact.
Some safety reviews note a small risk of skin or eye irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Another review flagged possible harm to non-reproductive body systems at higher exposures (source: Environment Canada). Because of those notes, avoid heavy, repeated application over large areas and follow product directions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have ongoing health concerns, check with your health care provider before using new products.
