About

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

This methyl-substituted ethylpyrazine is used as a fragrance and flavoring substance with a characteristic roasted nutty odor. Unlike its dimethyl analog, it carries no EU hazard classification and is not listed in cosmetic Annexes. IFRA has reviewed pyrazines with no mandatory restrictions currently in force, though they are monitored for sensitization potential. Used at typical fragrance concentrations, the risk profile is moderate.

Known concerns

  • Structural alert for pyrazine sensitization potential — IFRA monitored
