About

Dithiomethylbenzamide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dithiomethylbenzamide is a dithioamide derivative of benzamide. The dithio moiety provides antimicrobial and anticorrosive properties. It functions as a stabiliser and preservative booster in cosmetic formulations. While the dithioamide functional group has some structural alert considerations, this specific compound is not listed in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annexes II–VI, suggesting it has not been formally assessed or restricted for cosmetic use. The sulfur-containing amide structure warrants monitoring for potential skin sensitization.

Skin benefits

  • Antimicrobial preservation support
  • May function as a stabilizer in cosmetic formulations

Known concerns
