About
3-ETHOXY-1,1,5-TRIMETHYLCYCLOHEXANE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This ethoxy-trimethylcyclohexane combines an ether linkage with a tertiary alcohol on a cyclohexane ring, creating a complex modern fragrance molecule. The H226 classification indicates flammability (important for aerosol formulations), while H315 and H319 flag skin and eye irritation potential. The ether group can affect metabolic breakdown, though the saturated cyclohexane ring limits reactivity. No specific EU cosmetic restrictions apply to this structure, but the irritation warnings require careful concentration control, especially in products around eyes or mucous membranes.
