About

A thiazoline heterocycle with limited cosmetic use data; its structural alert warrants caution in skin applications.

2,5-Dihydro-4-methylthiazol-5-ethanol is a thiazoline derivative. Thiazolines can be metabolized to reactive sulfur species. There is no specific EU CosIng entry for this compound and it has very limited use history in cosmetics, making comprehensive safety assessment difficult.

Known concerns

  • Very limited safety data for cosmetic use
  • Structural alert for skin reactivity
  • Not evaluated by EU SCCS
