Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Ethyl 2-dimethylcyclohexenylmethyl-aminobenzoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This aminobenzoate derivative contains a dimethylcyclohexenylmethyl group attached to the benzoate ester. Its molecular structure suggests potential UV-B absorption properties; however, it is not listed in EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex VI (authorized UV filters). Unauthorized UV filters in cosmetic sunscreens constitute a regulatory violation. The compound may function as a skin conditioning agent but lacks EU safety assessment for this purpose. Without SCCS approval, its use in cosmetic formulations is not recommended.

Skin benefits

  • Potential UV filter-like activity based on structure

Known concerns

  • Not an authorized UV filter in EU Annex VI
  • No SCCS safety assessment available
  • Unauthorized UV filter in sunscreen products
