About

4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-3-nitrophenol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This nitro-phenol with a hydroxyethylamino substituent carries multiple hazard statements including H361d (suspected reproductive/developmental toxicity) and H411 (aquatic toxicity), alongside skin sensitization and irritation. Used at maximum 1.85% in hair dyes, the combination of reproductive toxicity concern with sensitization hazards places significant restrictions on its use in consumer products.

Known concerns

  • Suspected reproductive/developmental toxicity (H361d)
  • Skin sensitizer (H317)
  • Skin and eye irritation (H315, H319)
  • Aquatic toxicity (H411)
  • Oral toxicity (H302)
