About

A cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This compound features a 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy substructure (characteristic of several benzyl alcohol derivatives and certain beta-blocker antihistamine agents) linked to an N,N-diethylacetamide moiety. The allyl chain and aromatic methoxy substitution can undergo oxidative metabolism to reactive intermediates. No EU CosIng entry was identified, suggesting this substance is not an authorised cosmetic ingredient. Its structural alerts for sensitisation and absence from established safety databases render it a compound of concern in topical formulations.

Known concerns

  • No EU CosIng authorisation — not a listed cosmetic ingredient
  • Structural alerts for skin sensitisation (allyl chain, phenolic ether)
  • Insufficient toxicological data for cosmetic application
