About
Bis(aminopropyl) bis(naphthylmethyl) melamine HCl is a synthetic melamine-derived compound listed in CosIng without assigned functions. Contains naphthalene and melamine structural components. While the compound itself may have different properties than its building blocks, melamine has raised safety concerns in other contexts. No GHS data or EU restrictions. Insufficient cosmetic safety data. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This melamine-based quaternary ammonium compound functions primarily as a coupling agent and intermediate in oxidative hair dye formulations. It carries a moderate safety concern with a PubChem safety score of 45 and lacks comprehensive REACH registration data. Potential residual monomer concerns and irritation potential (H315/H319) mean its cosmetic use requires careful concentration control, though it is not currently listed in EU Annex restrictions.
Known concerns
- Limited toxicological data available
- Potential skin and eye irritation (H315, H319)
- Possible residual monomer content concerns
