Side Effects:

Polyacrylic acid is generally considered safe when used in approved formulations, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food. However, some possible side effects can include:

Precautions:

• Allergies: If you are allergic to acrylic compounds or have sensitive skin, you should do a patch test before using products containing polyacrylic acid, especially in high concentrations.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Polyacrylic acid is generally considered safe in personal care products, but it’s always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before using products containing PAA during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Use in Eyes: Always ensure that ocular products (eye drops or gels) containing PAA are specifically formulated for eye use to avoid irritation or other adverse effects.
