About

Diethylaminomethylcoumarin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Diethylaminomethylcoumarin (also known as 7-(diethylamino)-4-methylcoumarin or coumarin 357) is a coumarin derivative that has been used as a UV absorber and fluorescent whitening agent in cosmetic formulations. EU regulatory scrutiny of coumarin derivatives has led to restrictions, as certain coumarins may release harmful compounds upon photodegradation. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has raised concerns regarding photosensitization potential. This substance is restricted in certain cosmetic applications within the EU.
