Bernard, B.K. | Harris, J.E. | Fischer, J.E.
Crodamol PMP (polyoxypropylene (2) myristyl ether propionate) has been extensively employed for many years in a wide variety of human cosmetics in the absence of reported adverse reactions. The compound is being considered for use as a vehicle for veterinary pharmaceuticals in food-producing animals. This paper reviews information on the chemistry, metabolism, and toxicity of this compound, including the details of a recently completed multi-dose study in rats. Based upon this information, it is concluded that Crodamol PMP is a substance of apparently low toxic potential. Potential new uses of this compound must compare the likely exposure to the substance with the available toxicity information.
