About

A synthetic benzamide-class small molecule used as a skin-conditioning antioxidant. Limited public data — a yellow-flag ingredient.

Dimethoxybenzamido phenylhydroxylacetamide is a proprietary synthetic small molecule listed with skin-conditioning and antioxidant functions in CosIng. It has a dimethoxybenzamide head group attached via an amide to a phenylhydroxyacetamide core. No CIR monograph, no SCCS opinion, and no peer-reviewed toxicology or efficacy data available publicly at the time of enrichment. Supplier documentation claims antioxidant and soothing activity. In the absence of independent safety data, a conservative default score is appropriate — not condemning the ingredient, but flagging the data gap.
