About
Erythrityl Triethylhexanoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Erythrityl triethylhexanoate is an ester of erythritol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid, functioning as a skin conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetic formulations. It is not subject to specific EU restriction under CosIng Annex III and has no GHS hazard statements. While 2-ethylhexanoic acid and its esters have been reviewed for potential reproductive effects at high doses in animal studies, cosmetic-grade material at typical use concentrations (typically <10%) does not raise concerns. No safety alert exists in CosIng.
