Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A diamine polyether building block — a reactive chemical intermediate, not typically a final cosmetic ingredient.

1,2-Bis-(2-aminoethoxy)ethane is a hydrophilic diamine with an ethylene glycol spacer. Functions as a chemical intermediate or crosslinker in polymer chemistry. Its primary amine groups make it reactive, and it serves as a building block rather than a consumer-facing active. CosIng function listed as 'not reported,' suggesting it's used in synthesis rather than as a standalone ingredient. Limited cosmetic safety data.
