About

A skin-conditioning humectant with a good safety profile, though limited long-term clinical data are available.

Acetamidoethoxyethanol is a humectant and skin-conditioning agent that helps hydrate skin by attracting water molecules. PubChem safety score of 78 indicates mild concern, primarily due to limited but adequate safety data. It is not listed in EU Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted) under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, and is considered safe for use in cosmetic formulations at normal concentrations.
