Caution
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A silane compound with reproductive toxicity and environmental hazard warnings, making it highly unsuitable for cosmetic use.
This fluoro-phenoxy substituted dimethylsilane compound carries hazard statements H360F (may damage fertility), H410 (very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects), and H360 (general reproductive toxicity). These classifications place it squarely in the range of substances requiring exclusion from cosmetic formulations. While listed in CosIng, the reproductive toxicity classification makes it highly restricted and unsuitable for leave-on skin products under EU Regulation EC 1223/2009, approaching EU Annex II exclusion criteria.
