About

A reactive vinyl monomer used primarily as an intermediate in cosmetic polymer synthesis. It can cause skin sensitization and is not typically used directly in finished cosmetic products.

Acryloyl morpholine is a N-substituted acrylamide derivative functioning as a polymerizable monomer in cosmetic raw materials. It is not listed in EU Annexes I–VI but is subject to general provisions under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requiring safety assessment. Its acrylamide-type structure raises sensitization concerns, and cosmetic-grade specifications require strict purity controls to limit residual monomer content.

Known concerns

  • Skin sensitizer (potential acrylamide-class allergen)
  • Residual monomer concern in polymer formulations
  • Not extensively studied for direct dermal exposure
