About

This chlorinated carbonate compound carries warnings for skin sensitization and suspected genetic toxicity, making it unsuitable for cosmetic use.

Chloro-1-ethylcyclohexyl carbonate is an organochlorine compound with a carbonate ester functional group. It is classified as a skin sensitizer (H317 - may cause an allergic skin reaction) and suspected of causing genetic defects (H341 - suspected of causing genetic defects). The compound is not listed in any EU cosmetics annexes, effectively prohibiting its use in cosmetic products in the European market. Its carbonate structure also raises concerns about potential reactivity with skin proteins.

Known concerns

  • Skin sensitizer (H317)
  • Suspected genetic toxicity (H341)
  • Not approved for cosmetic use in EU
  • Potential protein reactivity
