About
Ethyl Dimethyldioxolane-2-acetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This cyclic dioxolane derivative with an acetate ester group is used as a fragrance material. Dioxolane rings can be prone to hydrolysis under certain conditions, releasing small amounts of aldehydes. IFRA has reviewed cyclic acetals and dioxolanes for skin sensitization potential. The compound is not listed in EU Annex II but is subject to concentration restrictions under IFRA guidelines for cosmetic safety.
Known concerns
- Potential for hydrolysis releasing aldehyde fragments
- IFRA-monitored fragrance ingredient with concentration limits
