About

Ethyl Dimethylaminobenzoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethyl dimethylaminobenzoate (also known as ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate) is related to PABA and used as a UV filter in some cosmetic formulations. While not specifically restricted under EU Annex II, it is structurally similar to para-aminobenzoic acid derivatives that have raised sensitization concerns. The IFRA certifies its use as a fragrance chemical, but caution is advised in leave-on products targeting sensitive skin. The lack of specific EU restriction should not be interpreted as full safety endorsement given its structural alerts.
