Caution

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

2,3-dichloro-2-methylbutane is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

2,3-Dichloro-2-methylbutane is a fully chlorinated isobutane derivative with limited cosmetic applications, primarily functioning as a solvent. Its carcinogenicity classification (H351 - suspected of causing cancer) and skin irritation potential (H315, H319) make it a substance of concern. The EU SCCS has not published a specific safety assessment for this compound in cosmetic applications, and its use in cosmetic formulations is not supported by available toxicological evidence.

  • Acute oral toxicity (H302)
  • Skin and eye irritation (H315, H319)
  • Respiratory irritation (H335)
