About
2-(1-ETHYLPROPYL)PYRIDINE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
2-(1-Ethylpropyl)Pyridine is a substituted pyridine with an ethylpropyl chain at the ortho position relative to the nitrogen. Pyridine is a heterocyclic aromatic amine, and while this compound is not a primary aromatic amine, the nitrogen heterocycle may participate in metabolic oxidation. It is not listed in EU Annex II (banned substances) or Annex III (restricted substances) of the Cosmetics Regulation, and the available GHS data show no major hazard classifications. The primary use appears to be in flavor rather than cosmetics.
Known concerns
- Heterocyclic nitrogen may undergo metabolic oxidation
- Primary use is in flavoring rather than topical cosmetics
- Limited skin safety data
