About

2-methyl-5-tert-butylthiophenol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

2-Methyl-5-tert-butylthiophenol carries an extensive and severe GHS hazard profile spanning multiple categories: flammable (H226), aspiration hazard (H304), skin and respiratory irritants (H315, H336), specific organ toxicity (H361d, H373), serious eye damage (H319), and environmental hazards (H400, H410, H411). It is classified as Dangerous (most severe signal word). Under EU Reach, such a broad hazard profile would require extensive authorisation. Cosmetic use would be extremely unlikely given this profile. No CAS number is available for PubChem reference.
