About

An industrial chemical with potential carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxicity (CMR) concerns that restricts its use in cosmetic formulations.

Benzoguanamine (2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine) is primarily used in industrial resins and coatings. The PubChem safety score of 55 and its classification as a potential CMR substance have limited its cosmetic applications. While not specifically listed in EU Annex II for cosmetics, its toxicological profile—including出道 concerns around its melamine-derived structure—makes it a substance of regulatory concern.

Known concerns

  • Potential CMR substance (carcinogenicity/mutagenicity/reprotoxicity concerns)
  • Limited cosmetic-specific safety data
  • Structural relationship to melamine derivatives of concern
