About

A fatty amine restricted in the EU due to sensitization concerns and ecological toxicity, requiring careful formulation management.

Dibehenyl Methylamine is listed under EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex III, entry III/62, which restricts certain amine derivatives due to concerns about sensitization potential and ecological toxicity. Specifically, III/62 covers behenyl-related compounds and their derivatives, requiring that the maximum secondary amine content be controlled and that nitrosamine formation be monitored. It is used in cosmetics as an antistatic agent and emulsifying agent but is subject to strict purity requirements and concentration limits in the EU market.
