About
2,4-diethylphenyl Methyl Ketone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This diethyl-substituted acetophenone derivative is used as a fragrance ingredient with no specific EU cosmetic restriction listing. IFRA guidelines recommend concentration limits due to potential for skin sensitization in susceptible individuals. The ketone functionality and aromatic substitution pattern provide unique ambergris-like characters not easily replicated by simpler aromatic ketone structures.
Known concerns
- Sensitization potential requiring IFRA concentration guidelines
- Potential for cross-reactivity with other aromatic ketones
