About

Dimethyl Itaconate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dimethyl Itaconate carries GHS hazard statements including H302 (harmful if swallowed), H314 (serious skin corrosion/burns), H315 (skin irritation), H317 (skin sensitisation), H319 (eye irritation), and H335 (respiratory irritation), with a Danger signal word. The itaconic acid diester structure is reactive and can act as a skin sensitiser and irritant, making it poorly suited for cosmetic skin applications.
