About
Butyl Anthranilate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Butyl anthranilate is the ester of butyl alcohol and anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid), functioning as a fragrance ingredient with delicate orange-blossom and grape-like notes. Anthranilates are a recognised class of fragrance materials with a long history of use. EU CosIng does not list butyl anthranilate in Annex II or III restrictions. The primary amine group introduces a potential structural alert for sensitisation, though butyl anthranilate has not demonstrated significant sensitisation in standard HRIPT studies at normal use concentrations. The score reflects a safe fragrance material with minor structural concern.
