Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

4-amino-3-fluorophenol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

The fluorination of this aminophenol creates a distinct toxicity profile with limited historical use data in cosmetics. It is not currently listed in EU Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted), but its novel structure means it undergoes full safety assessment before market authorization. Available data indicate moderate irritation potential.

Known concerns

  • Limited toxicological data
