About

Ethoxylated Ethyl-4-aminobenzoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This ethoxylated PABA (4-aminobenzoic acid) derivative functions as a UV filter and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic products. PABA and its derivatives have a complex regulatory history in the EU: some PABA esters are listed in Annex VI (approved UV filters) while others are restricted. The ethoxylation modification may reduce sensitization risk compared to traditional PABA, but the compound requires careful safety assessment. The specified 10% maximum concentration is consistent with IFRA and SCCS recommendations for UV filter compounds of this type.

Skin benefits

  • Provides UV radiation protection
  • Conditions skin as a PABA derivative

Known concerns

  • PABA derivatives have varying EU regulatory status — requires specific safety assessment
  • May be subject to SCCS review for UV filter efficacy and safety
  • Potential sensitization concern in PABA-sensitive individuals
