About

4-furanylethyl Resorcinol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Note: subject to regulatory restrictions in some markets. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

4-Furanylethyl Resorcinol is listed in EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III under reference III/22, which restricts its use in oxidative hair dye systems. It may be used in combination with oxidative agents at a maximum concentration that must be determined by general safety assessment.
